Answers a lot of questions for me.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
It was about the messanger(s) [View all] question everything Mar 2020 OP
Yay centrism! It brought us the Iraq War, NAFTA, DOMA, Financial Deregulation, Prison Overcrowding, DanTex Mar 2020 #1
Glad to see you so happy about this! William769 Mar 2020 #2
I am not going to list all the misery that socialist governments have brought on their citizens question everything Mar 2020 #3
Of course! If not for the Iraq War, we'd be like the Soviet Union!!! There's no other option! DanTex Mar 2020 #5
And the left/Greens gave us that war courtesy of Ralph Nader...imagine a world where Gore won. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #38
No one's saying socialism is the answer. Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #6
AOC is a member of the DSA. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #8
Ok but Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #11
She is a justice Democrat unless I am mistaken...I like socialist better than that group. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #35
I'm not really familiar with that group, Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #37
Good thing Biden isn't a centrist, then. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #7
Well he sure seemed like a centrist when he supported every single one of those things. DanTex Mar 2020 #9
And you would be wrong. Still. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #10
LOL. I love appeals to the chart. Yes, that proves that voting for the Iraq War, and DOMA, DanTex Mar 2020 #12
You're the one claiming Biden is a centrist. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #13
Yes, based on his extensive centrist voting record. DanTex Mar 2020 #14
Oh, bullshit. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #15
I'm not denying that. DanTex Mar 2020 #17
You were not wrong...Sanders was not electable ...he would have lost the general...massively Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #29
That's who I thought that was. Thank you confirming. William769 Mar 2020 #16
Did you go to link he provided? Informing one's opinion never hurts. marble falls Mar 2020 #26
Sanders voted for some of the same things. brush Mar 2020 #31
That is such nonsense...the left always mistakes words for important actions...what has Bernie ever Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #33
Most people got the memo that Sanders lost decisively NCProgressive Mar 2020 #18
Of course progressives will keep fighting for progressive policies. DanTex Mar 2020 #19
Why fight against Biden? Why not fight against Trump and the republicans instead? NCProgressive Mar 2020 #20
Pointing out that Biden doesn't support Medicare for All is hardly "fighting" him. DanTex Mar 2020 #23
It will be too late. We won't have time to raise the money we need...his supporters will remain Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #27
The tiny and faint glimmer of hope that Bernie may still win this is doing wonders NCProgressive Mar 2020 #36
So he doesn't .... what is the point of it? Biden won fair and square and won decisively NCProgressive Mar 2020 #34
Perhaps the left/Greens could consider fighting Republicans instead of Democrats and costing us Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #28
Why do you keep talking about the Greens? I'm not a Green. Bernie's not a Green. DanTex Mar 2020 #41
Stein was where the anti -Hillary votes on the left went last time...so it is a coalition of sorts Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #48
More Bernie voters in 2016 voted for HRC than HRC voters in 2008 voted for Obama. DanTex Mar 2020 #51
The primaries are over. Time to fight trump now not other Dems. brush Mar 2020 #39
I find it hilarious that the same people who think the red-baiting Communist smears DanTex Mar 2020 #42
Seriously, you don't think it's over? Will you vote Biden? brush Mar 2020 #43
Of course I'll vote for Biden. DanTex Mar 2020 #45
Actually Dan, it was brought on by leftist / Greens who refused to vote for multiple Democratic Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #21
Well, if we go that way, there's a lot of blame to go around. DanTex Mar 2020 #32
What does your selective outrage have to do with the OP? beastie boy Mar 2020 #22
No Dan as I pointed out all of those things were brought about by left/Greens not supporting our Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #40
Really? The Greens are responsible for the 90s deregulation, welfare reform, crime bill, etc? DanTex Mar 2020 #44
So now we go back to the 90's? How about starting in 2000? In fact, after Reagan became president. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #47
Well said PatSeg Mar 2020 #4
We do need to go a little more 'left'. marble falls Mar 2020 #24
We don't. We need suburban Moms and AA voters who tend to be moderate to conserative...our Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #25
