Anyone else have ZERO interest in policy debates in these times? [View all]

And certainly not purity tests or the suicidal tactics of splitting the party apart along certain factions for denigration and fighting old fights, all but guaranteeing an uphill fight in Nov 2020.

The uncomfortable truth - The next Democratic President will not get any major peice of legislation passed by congress, let alone remain intact by Trump's courts. He/she is likely to be a policy failure and will be obstructed at every turn.

Inheriting the presidency from Trump will be a poisoned chalice for whomever drinks it, but they'll be saving the country from further destruction.

In short, none of this matters, for the only thing that truly matters is removing Trump from office.

We live in truly dangerous times and I don't think one or two of the candidates seem to fully appreciate or even care about that fact lest they be 'denied' the nomination.

Wake up. America is fighting for her very survival.

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