How can we decide without the 4 B's?

Four big names still deciding.
Biden
Beto
Bloomberg
Brown

I need to hear from all of them plus Eric Swalwell before I even think about picking someone.

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

... and I was particularly intrigued about the possibility that candidate preference choices could be used to mathematically FORCE jury selections to be more diverse (rather than risking having a jury that was subconsciously biased in their assessment of the legitimacy of the alert).

That's definitely an improvement compared to the previous way.

Maybe I don't understand the question though.

Brown has been on trms a couple time in the past week.

And the way they phrased the question - who would I vote for today - made it an easy answer. Harris! But that could change because yes it is so early.

it's happening anyway. Which is why I'm an undecided at this point (though I lean Biden/Harris).

I really think we need to see these candidates out on the trail, answering questions, debating policy points. My main (perhaps only) criterion is that whoever the candidate is, he/she can mow the Trumpster down. And if the Trumpster isn't on the ticket, mow any and all Republicans down.

That being said? It's going to be a long (and insufferable) primary season.
