VOTE HIM OUT!

I'm going to vote in the primary for the Democratic candidate who seems most likely to help do that. Period. Job 1 for that candidate should be to reverse the damage Trump has done. That's going to be a tough, thankless job. All that cool progressive stuff is going to have to wait until the damage is repaired, both internally and internationally.

Once that's done, we can move on to longer range goals.

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

This is in poor taste True Dough Apr 2019 #2

Yes, it is hyperbole. That's intentional. MineralMan Apr 2019 #7

I reported this as divisive. zaj Apr 2019 #4

I agree. It is not a good approach. MineralMan Apr 2019 #10

I jury voted on it as such. This has consequences that are too ugly to entertain on DU. ancianita Apr 2019 #18

Satire is another way to change minds. MineralMan Apr 2019 #21

I hear you. I accept all that. ancianita Apr 2019 #25

Unable to choose due to an invalid premise LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #5

I did. Yes. It's a ridiculous way to choose nominee, isn't it? MineralMan Apr 2019 #11

Glad you see it as such. In my view, it's informational, maybe a good indicator of our weaknesses ancianita Apr 2019 #19

LOL, MM did. Yep, the post is satire! RKP5637 Apr 2019 #12

Excellent. I agree. MineralMan Apr 2019 #17

Lol good, didn't notice the satire thingy... embarrassed now. Agschmid Apr 2019 #27

Notice: This Poll Is Satirical in Nature MineralMan Apr 2019 #16

It was risky of you, but now I get it. Others who took it should be cut some slack. ancianita Apr 2019 #22

I am hardly one to avoid taking risks, as MineralMan Apr 2019 #24

Yes. An a clever way to make a point about getting lost crazytown Apr 2019 #23

Still very divisive. zaj Apr 2019 #31

Satire of what? zaj Apr 2019 #32

These are the candidates I've ruled out so far FakeNoose Apr 2019 #20

This is a brilliant concept, I think. Laelth Apr 2019 #26

Not hating ANY, and sad to see # re: Senator Sanders. elleng Apr 2019 #28

Wow. I thought Gillibrand would have it hands down! CrispyQ Apr 2019 #29

I don't hate any of them (yes, I get the satirical intent). The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #30

Well, for me, the 2020 Presidential election is about one thing: MineralMan Apr 2019 #33

Exactly. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #34
