I hope that Bernie and Warren can put their egos in the background and come together as a team. But let's be serious....it won't matter. Democrats have a terrible history of actually voting, we would have won the Electoral College in 2016 if the Dems sitting at home would have voted....but they were just too busy I guess.

I've been voting for 33 years and the Democrats have been disappointing me for 33 years. Either we lose because WE don't vote, or we win and then try to work across the aisle and end up losing in bi-partisan deals. Obama was a lame-duck president after 2 years because he wasted time trying to placate Mitch McConnell. Most of the things he passed he did so with executive orders.

The only way we win this thing is if our lazy fellow Democrats actually go vote. And that's the sad truth. It's never the republicans who cause us to lose, it's our own party.

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