10. It's not whether or not someone "supports the platform"...

It's not whether or not someone "supports the platform"... it's the insanity of giving anyone a national platform to denigrate and shit all over the Democratic party.

What good purpose does it serve to let anyone smear the party and make the GOP look like a reasonable alternative? What good purpose does it serve to give someone a podium who's going to proclaim that the Democratic party is "corrupt" or that Democrats are the "party of the one percent"???

I'll say it again: That kind of negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

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