Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders names the one thing Democrats should not do if they want to defeat Trump in 2020 [View all]Bluepinky
(2,268 posts)36. I agree with you 100%, Tom.
I was a Bernie supporter last time around but rallied around Hillary when she became our candidate. But I was surprised and quite literally sickened by all the smears against anything Bernie and the anger toward me when I supported him. I still think he may have beaten Trump in the 2016 election; I know of several people personally who were Bernie supporters in the primary but voted for Trump in the election (at least one of which is very sorry). It doesnt help our side to attack Bernie or any other candidate.
For now, Im undecided; I still like Bernie and his ideas, but I also really like Pete B., Warren, Harris, Biden, Klobuchar. In the end, Im going to support whoever can beat Trump.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Yup, yup... very sage advice. But, coming from Bernie, I'm sure it'll be criticized incessantly.
