I'm keeping an open mind when it comes to the Democratic Primaries

I like a lot of the contenders so far, Warren, Harris, Brown, Beto, etc., and yes, even Bernie

On Primary day in my state, I will vote my conscience. Then whoever wins, I will volunteer for the campaign and work my ass off to see that they win. I’ve volunteered and canvassed for Obama, Clinton, Bernie and Kerry (I found DU from the Kerry’s Aeries Forum right after the 2004 election actually). The injustice of the 2001 campaign is actually why I became an activist and volunteer for campaigns at all. I met Gore in a small town meeting and when he lost, wished I had done more. I can’t see us lose again without not only learning from our mistakes but doing something about it. I cannot see us lose again. Not like 2001. And sure as hell not like 2016.
