2. Probably "only" 12-13 candidates. Could be worse.

I'd love those I consider embarrass the party to be gone.

Steyer is an obscure self aggrandizer who couldn't produce 1000 people who knew and wanted him to run for anything before entering, but he's a billionaire so can write checks to agents who'll design a "populist" candidacy that can round up enough supporters to qualify? We're the Democratic Party, not the Republican. Let him leave the populist pose to be forgotten and forgiven (maybe), put in 8 years of genuine service to community and nation, then run for congress.

And Gabbard ran for congress as a Democrat to represent her overwhelmingly Democratic district. I'd like to leave her disposition to their discretion.

Seth Moulton, Tim Ryan. #FiveWhiteMen? 'Nuf said.

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