The Democratic Primary election is the important one. It will determine if the Democratic candidate will be an actual Democrat, or a Third Way Democrat.

I don't want the General Election to simply determine if the corporate dominance will be Red flavored or Blue flavored.

Several important primaries. Gradually events and discussion will determine the outcome. It may be not till May or June of next year when a real decision on our candidate is finalized. I am urging us to slow down the anger and save some strength for next year. We will all need it then too. ..thank you
