Myself and all my friends were hoping for Bernie [View all]

And I’m certain they will all vote for Biden. Period. But they are pretty pessimistic about the whole thing and I can’t lie I am too. Please Biden pick a progressive for VP and throw the base a bone. Something Hilary didn’t think she needed to do... don’t make the same mistake Joe.

This is my hope, with winning the GE foremost in mind.

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