He was very presidential. I wish Warren had endorsed him. That would have pushed me over the top into his camp. As it was, I just couldn't get past the vulnerabilities in his record.

I look forward to voting for him in the GE.

I think I was for Harris for a hot minute when she called out Joe's votes on bussing.

I still say he has gotten a huge pass on his past, but it's not looking like that will matter in the general.

He's my sixth or seventh choice. We had a great field.

I most ignore the debates and pay little attention to the zinger lines others give points to. Instead I focus on the candidates' own true ideology and records -- which never change from what they are no matter how their partisans and opponents attempt to spin them.

But in the end, it also sounds like we'll be voting for the same things and against the same things.

I'm a dedicated Democrat though. I'm eager to vote for Biden in the general. If this is hard for you to understand, perhaps you need a simpler party?

Maybe you don't understand he is likely to win the Primary?

Maybe you don't think Warren's endorsement carries weight?

I fail to understand your struggle.

Sat Mar 14, 2020, 10:47 PM

But IMO...

1) Bernie would most likely lose in November, this giving us another 4 years of Fuhrer Drumpf

2) In the unlikely event that Bernie did win, his presidency would in all probability turn out to be an utter fiasco, thus hurting Democrats for many years to come

Kinda like Carter...who is a good and decent man, but who was a fairly incompetent POTUS which ultimately led to Reagan and 40 years worth of trickle-down supply-side voodoo Reaganomics which is the primary cause of many of our problems today.

You're entitled to your own opinion, of course...which you expressed with your vote/bet today. So good for you.
