the guy who hasn't had an original thought since he was attending SWP meetings in the '60s and whose accomplishments in Congress consist of naming a couple of post offices, when you could have Warren, a brilliant woman who has actually accomplished things in her life?

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

I decided awhile ago. MisterFred Feb 2020 #3

That's pretty much where I'm at, and barring something extraordinary, it'll be Sanders. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #6

It will never be the right time for that woman. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #19

She is a badass, and I will vote for her with great enthusiasm given the chance ramen Feb 2020 #72

Thanks 😊 ramen. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #96

That's exactly where I stand. But my primary is not until May 19 KPN Feb 2020 #53

That's voting the horse race. Buzz cook Feb 2020 #81

Well, I like 'em both. MisterFred Feb 2020 #95

I agree Warren beats this president. nt MisterFred Feb 2020 #136

Warren of those 2 IcyPeas Feb 2020 #4

President Warren MoonlitKnight Feb 2020 #5

I truly think that, of the candidates left Docreed2003 Feb 2020 #7

I agree. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #22

The Democrat. Mme. Defarge Feb 2020 #8

Your Senator denem Feb 2020 #9

Yep. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #23

I'd choose Warren if forced, although either likely ensures trump II and puts House at risk. Hoyt Feb 2020 #10

Yes. If either is the final choice... VarryOn Feb 2020 #13

Guess you haven't seen the polls. Sanders leads against Trump with double digits DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #43

Yeah, I've seen some. VarryOn Feb 2020 #57

Warren happybird Feb 2020 #11

I'm fine with either but more closely align with Sanders. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #12

Consumer Financial Protection Agency Moderateguy Feb 2020 #15

FACT!!!!!!! sheshe2 Feb 2020 #25

Not a fact!!! Sanders has accomplished a lot, including changing the narrative. DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #49

What has he accomplished? sheshe2 Feb 2020 #54

You're falling prey to a Republican meme. DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #119

Nope. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #121

Your logic is all over the place. It's fun though! DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #132

You are loads of fun too. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #133

SMH... ehrnst Feb 2020 #135

Not a fact. Sanders eschews teamwork and castigated needed compromise grantcart Feb 2020 #82

".... but that's about it." DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #118

Senator Warren has been making that point Tweedy Feb 2020 #113

You're falling prey to a meme. DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #116

Just the facts, here Tweedy Feb 2020 #120

I'm not sure the number of exclamation marks and capital letters ramen Feb 2020 #73

Aaaaah. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #76

The weeping emoji, though, is ramen Feb 2020 #77

;) sheshe2 Feb 2020 #83

If that is my only choice Warren nt doc03 Feb 2020 #16

I'm a moderate. But I cannot understand why any progressive would prefer Sanders to Warren. CalFione Feb 2020 #17

M4A Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #21

So you rather support a candidate who's not going to be able to deliver Moderateguy Feb 2020 #24

Who says Sanders can't compromise? Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #28

The reason that Bernie sticks to his guns... Woodycall Feb 2020 #64

Agreed. Don't give up leverage to appease people who will never vote for you. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #66

No Tweedy Feb 2020 #115

Sanders did not refute Tweedy Feb 2020 #114

Winner!!! sheshe2 Feb 2020 #29

A) Liz is for M4A CalFione Feb 2020 #35

So has Bernie. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #36

So with that issue being a wash... there's no real reason to support Bernie over Warren... CalFione Feb 2020 #37

She's never really been fully committed to M4A. Gravitycollapse Feb 2020 #40

Why would anyone want crabby, shouty old Bernie, The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #18

Warren, but Bernie stands a zentrum Feb 2020 #20

Leftists are getting less than 50% in the democratic primaries Moderateguy Feb 2020 #26

That seems so obvious to many of us. Desert grandma Feb 2020 #45

Independents. Latinos. Voters under 45. JudyM Feb 2020 #128

Given today's news I do not trust these polls Moderateguy Feb 2020 #129

Are you suggesting the Russians are interfering with independent pollsters? JudyM Feb 2020 #134

Honestly, I would happily support a Warren-Sanders ticket. Bonobo Feb 2020 #27

Nope. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #32

I am with you sheshe and I agree. I too had the issue with M4A and was glad to see her shift on krissey Feb 2020 #33

Fluid is good. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #38

Warren and Bernie are both great, but I think Bernie has a better chance of beating trump. jg10003 Feb 2020 #34
