Although I've openly supported Biden, I could happily vote for Bernie.

And that’s not just in the general election.

In fact, I may change to undecided. I genuinely like both of those 2 candidates. I’m torn.

What I dislike is reading such ugly posts between Biden and Bernie supporters. I actually feel drawn to support Biden when Bernie supporters attack Biden supporters. However, I feel the same as it relates to Biden supporters attacking Bernie voters.

I will be watching carefully the next month until the FL primaries. I have no problem with a democratic socialist winning. And I have no problem with Biden since he brings nostalgia of the Obama administration.

Peace y’all.

The only way to peel away some Trump voters is if the economy declines.

The GOP is loyal to Trump because they think he created this economy, among other reasons.

We need to express our displeasure with the GOP and Trump by closing our wallets. Consumers drive the economy. It’s time to stop spending as a form of protest.

When Wall Street earnings decline it’ll hurt the GOP. Time to cut back on spending. Don’t buy that car you want until after the election. Don’t buy a house. No new furniture.

This must be done to show how much we despise the threat to our democracy. Just shut down spending. Now.

Are there any nationwide pro-conviction rallies this weekend? We need to take to the streets.

Maximum pressure must be applied!

Phone calls, emails, and rallies are all needed to put pressure on the GOP.

Val Demings is being pushed as VP candidate.

She is from the all important I-4 corridor of the all important swing state of FL.

African American, female, and sharp as a tack. Would make FL even more competitive for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Congresswoman Val Demmings has a high profile stage right now in Congress, a great personal back story, an impressive professional background, preacher-esque oratory skills, a reputation for a sharp, no-nonsense, strategic and tactical intellect, a lifelong commitment to law and order and enormous popularity back home.

Oh. And she’s black. And a woman.

And she’s from a critical swing state worth 29 electoral votes in an area considered one of the state’s most crucial voting blocs.

New poll shows Biden with lead over Trump in FL.

One of the chief arguments that advocates for Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy tout is that they say he's the only Democrat who can defeat Donald Trump in 2020.

That's apparently true in Florida, at least according to a poll released on Tuesday. The Mason-Dixon survey shows that Biden is the only Democrat among four who were listed in a one-on-one matchup with the president who comes out on top.

Florida's 29 electoral votes are the most of any swing-state in the 2020 contest.

Biden has consistently fared best against Trump in Florida polls.

Another poll taken in October showed Elizabeth Warren leading Trump.
