First off, it's my post. I get to decide the relevancy. I don't like the treatment she receives from some of our members and I will defend her at every turn. Mentioning her campaign and conveniently leaving out the circumstances behind her loss, and trying to pass her off as an unqualified candidate is a disservice.

"But it would be a pretty long post"
I barely made it through this one. 😯

I'm not going to badmouth any candidate, wait, maybe one, okay 2 then, all right all right, there might be three. All I know is that in the end we will have a candidate that everyone needs to get behind. If it's mayor Pete, I'm there. If it's Joe Biden, I'm there. If it's ???, I'm reluctantly there, but I'm there nonetheless. I know you will be there too.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
