Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumOut of all of the Bern's surrogates I like her the best.
She makes the case for the Bern's policies without alienating other Democrats.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(15,773 posts)Shes the future of the party. Shes working inside the party to move it left which is how it should be done. Shes a good Democrat who absolutely destroys Republicans when questioning them. Plus, she supported Pelosis leadership when some progressives were pushing her otherwise.

(14,203 posts)that her political career, and the US political system, is going to extend longer than the next few weeks.
A lot of the Sanders diehards are burning their bridges and forfeiting any chance of being serious political actors in the future.

(49,694 posts)but I agree, she still has a long way to go. Maybe with a bit more experience and some discipline, you could be a powerful voice for Democrats. Meanwhile, she might want to focus more attention on the constituents who elected her, instead of making a nationwide name for herself. It is only a two year term and there are no guarantees.
Also you could use her intelligence and skills to combat republicans first and foremost, not fellow Democrats. Let people in other districts pick their Democratic representatives. I know that I would resent it if she tried to undermine Democratic representative or senator.

(2,706 posts)She says she and Biden shouldnt be in the same party.
She definitely alienates other democrats.

(15,773 posts)that in many other countries, their views would place them in competing parties. Its true. In an ideal world, wed have a progressive party and a moderate party duking it out and the corrupt Republican Party wouldnt exist.

(15,773 posts)White Nationalists wouldnt have that kind of support. That would be scary.

KPN
(16,080 posts)She's smart, thoughtful, well-spoken and has an attractive personality. I hope Biden reaches out and tries to involve her for that purpose.

(15,773 posts)to come out and vote for Biden. Although I do have my doubts because not even Sanders, who is very popular among the young, could get them to the polls to vote for him.

We need more bridge-builders. We can only succeed if we do it together. No more burning down the party that brung you. Find common ground wherever it exists and build on that.
