If the non-Democrat Bernie fanatics haven't learned to sing a new song since 2016, after seeing all that Trump has wrought upon this nation, and they still think that Biden's alleged warmongering outweighs the vast dangers that Trump presents to us if he gets another four years, then I'd just rather ignore that 15%. If Biden loses, it won't be because of them. He never had them.

And this whole tall tale about Hillary's bad candidacy needs to away too. In light of this year, when six female candidates were utterly trounced, could they all have been terrible candidates? Hillary not only trounced the sexism that clearly did hurt her to a degree, but she also trounced 30 years of anti-Clinton propaganda. We never had anything to compare her to before this year and now that we do, we realize that it took Comey's letter and, to a lesser degree, the constant rantings of the Briahna Joy crowd—who would not have had the audience they had if Bernie had run as an independent, to derail her campaign in the Electoral College, while she still earned the popular vote. In comparison to some great female candidates this year, in terms of winning voters, Hillary was either the best ever or the six female candidates this year were simply the worst possible candidates ever and I don't think any of us believes that—well, except maybe Williamson.

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