15. Not supporting the Green New Deal or FDR ideology is a turn off for me.

One thing I caution is running a moderate with years of baggage. According to all the political polls of what people claim they want the country is liberal and left. Some claim the center is Republican light but it's not. The center is left, FDR left, Democratic socialism left but for sure we need bold action if we are to survive due to climate change, global warming and nuclear weapons threat. We must act immediately just to survive and ensure our freedom...our economic freedom especially (wealth inequality). I am proud that all our candidates show a core of progressive leadership which puts country and people first over corporate power and money. I'd vote for any of them in a heartbeat but I feel Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren best reflect my views and are proven to be honest, experienced, and will fight for the people''s rights for wealth equality, health care and transparency, with the help and support of all our other amazing candidates.

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