And considering the following, I'm not sure what you're actually saying, apart from the fact that you like Bernie.

People of color decisively spurned Bernie in 2016, and it strains credulity to believe he’ll do any better with Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, and Cory Booker (or the various fresh-face white candidates) on the early primary ballots. And in this first presidential election of the #MeToo era, Bernie has to compete for women voters while fending off serious accusations of misogyny and sexual harassment in his ’16 campaign. This week he apologized (“some women went through experiences that they should not have”) while claiming he didn’t know what was happening.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
