27. i really don't like the idea of two senators running
Thu Mar 26, 2020, 05:29 PM
Mar 2020

especially if one of them costs us a seat, as in massachusetts.

i loves me some warren, and no doubt she'd be great as vp or even president if it came to that, but we need her in the senate right now, not only to increase our chance of winning it, but beyond that, she'd be lioness of the senate if we get a majority.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Or a midwestern Governor bucolic_frolic Mar 2020 #1
I think Amy MFM008 Mar 2020 #2
Oh no Rebl2 Mar 2020 #11
Good news! MFM008 Mar 2020 #24
I hope not. I think she is the least impactful choice. Happy Hoosier Mar 2020 #12
