Corporate dems, the dnc and the dlc want to support one of their own and barely tolerate anyone who won't toe their line. Their manipulations last time cost us. And they don't like criticism....especially when it comes from the candidate who probably could've beaten trump. I think I've heard it described at Dunninger-Croger ( spelling all wrong, sorry )syndrome. So far into their own beliefs that they can't see beyond them. This could hurt us again. Leftie progressives are not the problem.
I don't know who'll be the candidate, I will vote for whoever. This admin has harmed us in so many ways it'll take a dem to right the ship of state.

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