31. There is a slient majority looking forward to voting for Biden and hopeful for change

The loudest voices online (on both the left and right) are angry, aggrieved, hateful, divisive and use smears that have the same energy of the Obama birther smears. Some percentage of this is surely Russian trolling. I ignore it except to the extent that addressing it will stifle any subterfuge against the U.S. elections. Otherwise, I am not remotely worried. The coalition the Dems built in the 2018 midterms and those who have shown up in droves to vote for Biden during this primary tell me that Biden is just the person people are looking for in 2020. The silent majority is ready to reject extremism. It's probably not fair to expect deep passion and excitement in people who are craving calm.

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