I'm good with all of them but Gillibrand and Gabbard.

Both former consevadems now masquerading as progressives—not to mention their oter rather glaring baggage loads.

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

Beto is so Obama/RKFesque, and Castro speaks to me. Yank, who nobody hardly mentions is probably the most progressive of all with his plan for guaranteed income which has to be considered with tech and robotics eliminating so many jobs.

It's still like choosing mint chocolate chip over rocky road over chocolate over coffee ice cream flavors.

She actually went on national tv last year and didn't even know that two of her party senators broke with the other Senators in her party on a vote and had to be corrected by one of her aides on live tv. How embarrassing is that? That tells me she doesn't do her homework.
