37. "Progressive" voters don't vote

Wed Mar 18, 2020, 02:54 AM

Mar 2020

Especially not the slacker young ones.

And they're not the base of the party, besides.

Women and minorities are the base of the party, and they vote. None of them more than African-American women.

You can never go wrong when you dance with the one that brung you.

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

Well, does knowing Biden wanted Warren and only Warren for Hortensis Mar 2020 #13

Normally I would say 'great' but it would leave that Senate seat in a more precarious position. It alwaysinasnit Mar 2020 #8

She'd be a great pick, although I'd prefer to see her as Senate Majority leader Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #9

Are Schumer and Durbin retiring? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #10

Don't care - Warren would be better than either of them nt Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #24

So I guess you don't understand how seniority Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #25

I do, but reject it in favor of what is best for the country. Nt Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #27

So you don't care about reality. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #28

Love Warren, but imo Biden owes the spot to a black woman... polichick Mar 2020 #11

yes, preferably or a Hispanic woman, or at least a younger woman and preferably both. hlthe2b Mar 2020 #12
