Yeah? Well, honestly, we should be able to do better than anyone currently in the running, but this is what we have to work with. It's absurd that the entire Democratic party can't put forth a better candidate. Warren is my first choice, but I'm not a fool, and I can see the downward spiral clearly.

Can someone name another candidate who's as well-organized as Bloomberg?

Or who gets under fuckhead Trump's orange hide the way Bloomberg does?

Honestly, Bloomberg is my last choice out of the current field of candidates, but his ads and therefore his message has a better reach than all of the other contenders combined.

I will absolutely vote for whoever winds up on our ticket, but it would be a wonderful, refreshing change if any of our candidates were actually worth getting excited about--and that includes Sanders, before any of his supporters reiterate their belief that he's the obvious and inevitable perfect candidate.



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

He'll never be able to flip the Senate - turnout will be low, guaranteed. He is too divisive. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #15
