That ship had sailed. We will have to run the revolution out of the confines of home, now.

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

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
