(1,572 posts)Im with you on this one.
The problem seems the socialist label and that so many seem to desire a conservative, stay-the-course centrist Democrat like Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, or Amy Klobuchar.
I almost feel like Im watching a replay of WWII and the British and French generals complacently sitting behind the fortifications of the Maginot line. The fortifications the German armies just went around.
Our political pundits and conservative Democrats are fighting the last war.
The electorate wants big systemic change. In fact, I dont think they will accept anything less. So, the candidates listed above will not cut it and thats why theyre losing so badly.
Who you want to take Trump on is not your choice, the choice of the Democratic establishment, or James Carville. The voters are speaking.
Im for Warren. But Ill vote for anyone with a D by their name. But I think it is critical that we nominate a candidate that will fight this war.
Whether you like it or not we are at war. Trump will not leave office peacefully. We have to win first to start the process of expelling him and his radical coterie.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
