MSNBC will NOT pick my choice for President in 2020. MSNBC promoted drumpf around the clock in 2016. I no longer watch MSNBC as I did previously.

...silly to argue that MSNBC favors them in their coverage.

...because it would be horrible if women got the same advantage in coverage men have been afforded for decades.

Well not with the ultimate victor part. That’s yet to be decided, but it is looking good now.

Americans have had enough of radical change. We long for Normalcy. Some parts of our party don’t like that, and that’s ok. But Joe is the man for the moment. As the candidates start dropping out, which will happen soon, Biden will pick up most of their supporters. Maybe not DU members. But DU members, who I love, are not reflective of our party as a whole.
