The odd thing about it all is, Sir, that of the candidates at the commencement of the primary, Mr. Biden was my least favorite, short of Sanders, who is utterly and completely unacceptable.
Indeed, I offer myself as an example of someone whose inclinations are well to the left of Mr. Biden, and who could produce in support of opposing him any number of longstanding disagreements with his actions in the Senate, yet who recognizes clearly that, in the present crisis our country faces, everyone with the least shred of patriotism, or any desire for success in achieving left and progressive goals, simply must join in behind the man who will bear the standard of the Democratic Party in this year's election.
I have no patience at all with anyone calling himself a leftist who does not see the chief duty of any leftist at present is to do all he or she can to turf out of office both the cheap thug Trump and McConnell, the gravedigger of our Republic, and see to it the power of the christo-fascist reactionary right is broken in our Federal and state governments.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
