Revolution be damned

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

Did you think there was only one caucus and one primary? Clash City Rocker Feb 2020 #170
I did nothing of the sort. Perhaps you might re-read my response. Indepatriot Feb 2020 #177
DU members may very well vote for him hangaleft Feb 2020 #206
And Sanders knows it too. apcalc Feb 2020 #127

I think your right. Bernie now is the wrong time. I am sorry Bernie but it is the truth. katmondoo Feb 2020 #4
I agree with you. The Florida primary is a closed one on 17 March irisblue Feb 2020 #147
You're not wrong. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #5
I respectfully disagree. Indepatriot Feb 2020 #6
KSNY KSNY Feb 2020 #28
Difference is: I have every confidence that Warren supporters will oblige in good faith. She_Totally_Gets_It Feb 2020 #43
Let us prove you wrong. ramen Feb 2020 #166
I support both Sanders and Warren. KSNY Feb 2020 #198
Warren won't do that...and the maybe the Twitter folks should not have been so vile if they Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #91
For me. No. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #199
Nah, the repugs have so much devastating oppo on him it's scary. brush Feb 2020 #44

Couldn't disagree more... zentrum Feb 2020 #10
Nope. Black voters are NOT voting for Bernie Sanders. Some will. Most of us will not. She_Totally_Gets_It Feb 2020 #47
Agreed. Black voters want to defeat Trump SilasSouleII Feb 2020 #134
Trust me, most black voters won't switch to Sanders. Bloomberg most likely. brush Feb 2020 #227
I believe so too. There's too much stuff on Bernie. blueinredohio Feb 2020 #11
But not too much stuff on Trump? Seriously? All things weighed? ancianita Feb 2020 #31
Everyone knows how bad Trump is but republicans don't care. Democrats have a little more integrity. blueinredohio Feb 2020 #157
Point is, Bernie can sell how he'll undo IF45's damage, how he & a senate democratic majority will ancianita Feb 2020 #172
I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary. Trump will scream socialism and scare people shitless. blueinredohio Feb 2020 #190
True or not, think about how insane that statement sounds: C Moon Feb 2020 #54
Agreed but this concerns voters some democrats may not vote for Bernie if they hear enough garbage. blueinredohio Feb 2020 #156
I don't see a path cilla4progress Feb 2020 #12

Then you will be helping trump. And this isn't playing. Squinch Feb 2020 #122
We need everyone to vote for our nominee, regardless of who it is. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #116
So you'd rather have another Trump presidency than support the Democratic nominee for president shawn703 Feb 2020 #117
Killer Mike went a long way to convincing them otherwise in 2016. He's out on tour ancianita Feb 2020 #167

Do you have any documentation for this idea? Bayard Feb 2020 #26
Nah, just an opinion. HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #51
That was a reasonable reply to a request for any kind of support for your statement. Squinch Feb 2020 #89

I like Warren too, and she's not too old Martin Eden Feb 2020 #225
My story, too. Still haven't made up my mind. marble falls Feb 2020 #224
I agree...Warren is my second choice...but if she and Biden fail...then I will support Bloomberg as Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #18
I will have to say Bloomberg yuiyoshida Feb 2020 #80
I love Star wars! Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #95
Warren was my first. But I think she may be done. Squinch Feb 2020 #94

Yes, Sanders Can Win McKim Feb 2020 #33
Yes, he's VERY good at that. Don't think the young won't be all over the elders' fear of socialism! ancianita Feb 2020 #39
The weird thing is, Bernie is actually just pushing more of what FDR started. Scotch-Irish Feb 2020 #46
Then HE and YOUTH supporters will say THAT! He's not in any way afraid to call on the ancestors for ancianita Feb 2020 #48
The youth vote didnt show up in NH. Squinch Feb 2020 #100
There is structural for that, from what I've read. Every state has different laws about college ancianita Feb 2020 #168
There's always "a structural," though. Squinch Feb 2020 #169
Doesn't have to be, though. ancianita Feb 2020 #173
But there always is. Squinch Feb 2020 #174
Less and less, though. ancianita Feb 2020 #176
You're seeing a surge in the youth vote? Squinch Feb 2020 #178
Not yet. Doesn't mean it can't happen just because it hasn't happened yet. ancianita Feb 2020 #187
Right. Except it never does. We've all been hoping since McGovern that it would. But it doesn't. Squinch Feb 2020 #189
No Bernie will lose and then we are truly screwed...sure he has my vote but Trump will win. Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #109
