(1,566 posts)Im blue no matter who, but our party is made up of a lot of progressives. Health care is still in the top one or two things that most Americans are concerned about. And thats with the great changes brought about by Obamacare. Hopefully the platform coming out of the convention will reflect our voices.

(6,278 posts)Sanders and Biden offer different things, and you may want some of both. Or you may be torn between the promise of the left, vs. the pragmatism of the moderate.
I feel you. I live in a split household. I don't think Sanders can beat Trump, otherwise, I would give him more thought. I didn't think Warren could beat Trump. If I did, I think I would have campaigned for her, and given her money.
Watch the debate, do research, think it through, take your time.
For every week that Bernie stays in the race, progressive candidates below him have a chance at nomination.

(1,089 posts)I was gonna pick whoever was taller but they are identically 6-footers so that didn't work.
Just do what I did and flip a coin. Heads it's Biden and tails it's Joe.
If it lands on its edge vote for this guy...
Make America Broke Again!

(24,796 posts)He is WAY too conservative for me. I am PISSED we don't all vote at the same time in the primary. We all should be able to vote for the same amount of candidates. Otherwise some people's votes mean more than others.

(1,863 posts)Congress makes the laws and passes the budget. They actually control the agenda, not the president, although the president will request legislation and use his political capital to try to get what he wants. We have two categories of serious problems. One is a national emergency which is Trump, Barr, McConnell, and Trump's cabal of crooks and criminals. The other is the many problems that Bernie and Liz have been pointing to, health care, student debt, lack of wealth distribution, climate change, corporate and oligarch control of government, etc., etc., etc.
Because of the national emergency, I suggest voting for the normalcy guy who is most acceptable to so-called moderates, then pushing like hell for congress to start solving those problems.
Elect lots of democrats to congress.
