Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)You have to think about electability [View all]
Let me begin by stating that I, personally, have no problems with any of the candidates. I am excited by all of them. So excited. Super excited and not even a tiny bit uncomfortable. Gosh, I would vote for these candidates as many times as I saw Get Out, as well as once for every mug or tote bag I own that says The Future is Female or Love is Love on it. (Imagine a lot of mugs and tote bags.) Were only that legal!
But you have to think about electability.
I just think people again, not me, Im on board, just people might not vote for this candidate. Because the candidate is a little, well, you know.
I mean, it doesnt bother me. But think of people, other people, people maybe with trucks or something, people who arent as, well, enlightened as you and, of course, me. These benighted, backward people might not be ready to vote for someone like this.

I don't think we can count on that without either Biden or Ryan on the ticket.
