Democratic Primaries

(58,785 posts)37. :) Imo, presidential candidates shouldn't have "enemy territory"
in our nation, just American citizens to bring their campaigns to. I don't disapprove of Harris and Warren refusing to appear on Fox, they're right about what it is, but unfortunately there really are citizens who only watch Fox.
Samantha Bee says appearing "legitimizes" Fox. Maybe, but I don't think that matters against the reality that Fox is very real and powerful, and not going away. Hopefully most of our plethora of good, solid Democrats will go on Fox to spread our messages, shining their lights into that darkness, even if only briefly.
Don't know that it might have had anything to do with calls for dumping Trump, but I'm definitely with you in hoping Buttigieg and Klobuchar accomplished what they intended to and more.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

And if he said the same things while not being on Fox, the Fox heads would still accuse him of this.

No one is desperate when the campaign isn't even out of its infancy stage yet.
