Bernie Sanders is NOT my candidate, but if he is the NOMINEE you will think

I am married to his son or daughter, I will talk him up like he is the 2nd coming!

There would be 1,000,000 reasons to vote for him and NOT for Rump.

During that election season, I would visit my local Democratic campaign headquarters, and it seemed like the volunteers were listless and distinctly unenthusiastic about Grey Davis, who went on to win against a very conservative Republican opponent. I was personally quite enthused to support Grey Davis and enjoyed placing Davis for governor signs around town.

I think that this this election, regardless of who the Democratic nominee is, there will be lots of people quite enthusiastically promoting that candidate!

My favorite is Elizabeth Warren but whoever wins the primary, I will vote for that person. I think that to do otherwise is a victory for Trump and the evil he stands for. I am not a fan of Biden, but if he wins he will have my wholehearted support. This is a fight that we cannot lose.

Democrats would vote for him or her to defeat what the Republicans have become. Yes. We would. If it was dictator Nicolas Maduro, who couldn't even take office, I'd still be there if I needed sleeping pills and a designated driver. That's how dangerous I believe our own RW has become. Actually, I'd vote ahead by mail, even if I was still hoping the nominee would drop dead, to give myself time to make sure GA didn't disenfranchise me while I wasn't looking.

But right now we have a responsibility to make sure it could never come to "enter horrible thought." We have an absolute duty to nominate only competent, capable people, only candidates of good character who don't lie to us or about us, and above all only candidates who truly represent and will fulfill in good faith the wishes and values of the majority voters. And that majority will be liberal Democrats, not those who despise them.
