While I personally agree with most of their positions on many issues (and in particular I think Elizabeth Warren is a very brilliant woman), I think that moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans will either not vote if either were nominated or even vote for Trump or a 3rd party candidate. I do not believe either one can win the general election and if nominated (which I also dont believe therefore either ever will get the nomination).
This is why I switched after being a Harris supporter to Biden and not to Warren, despite my appreciation for her, because I not only like Biden, but feel he will be able to beat Trump, be a great statesman and unite the country. I also still believe that he will choose a great VP and I hope it will be a woman or minority who we will all agree is fantastic as a future President.
Sanders isnt and wont be able to win and will never be that and I just pray all his supporters will not be vengeful and refuse to support Biden or another nominee when Sanders does not get it or that they refuse to vote for the Democratic nominee and vote a 3rd party or even Trump.
There - I said it. Flame away Bernie supporters- but it is simply the truth.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
