and encourage and strengthen Biden's supporters, while preparing them (us!) for the onslaught that will come when the GE race gets going in full force

If Sanders wants to win for real, he needs to capture the hearts and minds of the majority, After five years of nearly continuous campaigning, and hundreds of millions spent without getting that, it seems unlikely to happen now.

Our country is not made up of extremists, even if there are a lot of them on both sides of the spectrum. It's a Gaussian distribution (a big word most Trumpers won't understand, lol), with the majority wanting peace and real progress. People understand revolutions are nasty, messy and usually bloody affairs, with unpredictable, but usually negative outcomes. That's why our Founding Fathers gave us a voice in the first place

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