When you get so sick of reading, why someones candidate choice is so much better than yours

(Yes WE all get sick of reading how wonderful yours or mine is perceived by you or me...) take pride in this one and all.

Ten years from now, none of us will have to ditch the question of who voted for that clueless lout in 2016. We will not have to make up some lie that we did not vote for him, or did not vote for anyone in 2016.. We all had the good sense to see that what the republicans ended up having to back, was so incredibly inept and dangerous to our Democracy.

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

I plan to vote for the Democrat and democracy. If the party could successfully message what's at stake and the urgency then things could go well.

Yang's supporters were referred to as "slow learners" in this forum, and that is just not the kind of discourse I thought DU wanted to encourage.

what a train wreck he was, but they decided to put party over country. They made a bet that they could rein him in after the election. They were wrong and we're all paying the price.
