..we come to this political process with individual concerns and interests, often with political considerations attached.

Most of us already assume our candidates have a chance to win, and I'd guess that's what all of the posting is about.

However, there's more that we bring to this process which doesn't place all of that electability hoo-hah that people insist on at the front of our advocacy. It's assumed that our candidate of choice has a chance to win.

Arguing electability at this point is a bit of a smoke-screen, mostly used against whatever we oppose in other candidates. I say we should recognize the concerns people bring into these discussions, more than the process questions and declarations. We live the issues. They are what bring most of us to the political table, not the politics.

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