It limited options, and denied choice, to hundreds of thousands of Federal employees.

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

I like Elizabeth Warren the more I see of her. She seems very proactive and timely. She gets out ahead of any issue that seems to come up in the news. I think this is critical for a good President, to be aware of emergent issues as they develop. You can't be late to the dance, and Warren is there right on time.

It seems to me that Warren has thought of everything and is prepared for anything. She has a plan for a wide range of issues. This matter of the Hyde Amendment is a perfect example. It has become an issue that Biden supported it (still supports?). Senator Warren is aware of the currency of this issue and is out ahead of it, with a smart and timely response. She always seems to be on the ball. Anyway, I like Elizabeth Warren.

Eventually, when the time comes for us to pull together for the sake of our principals, I can see myself supporting her or any one of our other true progressives candidates in the primaries.

it’s an annual appropriations rider. I like Warren but sometimes I think she is overly eager to jump on the latest meme wagon.

Are going to the head of the pack because they are going after Trump. Warren, Pete, and Kamala are looking toward the future while Joe is talking about the past, and I voted for Joe in 2008.
