Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I have to pull out the big guns, now. [View all]standingtall
(2,785 posts)19. What would be the difference between from Bernie not getting his policies
done and a another nominee who wont get anything done unless they have the Senate and our willing to repeal the legislative filibuster. Regardless of who the nominee is we are not getting anything done even if we have the Senate without repealing the filibuster. Bernie is one of the few candidates I'm confident would repeal it and the only one I believe would not hesitate to reform the Supreme Court if he had the Senate.
Could be true that if he wins the Presidency he would still hurt us down ballot and fail to take back the Senate, but what if that's wrong? If he could reform the Supreme Court and maybe add some States that would be much more meaningful for the future of this Country than any of his policies.
If I were to vote in a presidential

We can all support all the candidates. It's not pie. We support Democrats. We support unity.

I think that Daffy Duck could beat Donald Trump in 2020 if Daffy ran as a Democrat.
