Democratic Primaries

(649 posts)Its clear to me that Biden is considered the safe candidate most likely to beat Trump, and that progressivism took a back seat to Democratic voters apparent #1 priority unseating Trump.
If thats the case, Im simply expressing my opinion as to how to go all in in that endeavor. Personally, Id rather see Elizabeth Warren as Bidens running mate. But Warren wouldnt advance the apparent #1 objective. Shes White, shes extremely progressive and shes relatively old.
Just because I support (present tense) Warren for president doesnt disqualify me from having an opinion regarding the best choice Biden can make to maximize his chances of beating Trump.
I remain disappointed that Democratic voters didnt seize a once in a generation opportunity to move the country forward with a progressive, electable woman candidate for president. I still feel we made a mistake in going with an old school candidate who either doesnt see or refuses to accept that Republicans are not our opponents, they are the enemy and we are literally at war for the soul of our country. And that working across the aisle isnt gonna fly.
But, thats who Democratic voters in their infinite wisdom chose, and I will vote for him. And Im merely adding my 2¢ that, given Democratic voters apparent priority, I believe Kamala Harris on the ticket stands the best chance of beating Trump.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
