Would you vote for Andrew over Bernie given the choice?

Because that seems especially odd; I don't trust Yang personally.

It depends on well he does in the primaries. The reason I like Yang is he has run the numbers on UBI and I really think the USA needs UBI far more than 15 an hour minimum wage. He addresses real issues that none of the other candidates have touched on like automation which will really screw up the economy.

You know, Bernie is my first choice, but I still don't get the hate for O'Rourke coming from our own side of the aisle. He's better than Gillibrand, Booker or Biden for sure

He’s better than Bernie. Why can’t you admit that.

O'Rourke is NOT pushing for Medicare for All or Free College. He's a moderate. Not as far left as some D candidates. He has a history of working with Republicans when in the US House.

No D candidate is far left. Sounds like O'stork is a stooge who supports the moneyed interests. Lets hope the primary voters see through him.

Any D is better than the Senile Orange and if the Dems are stupid enough to not vote because their guy or woman is not the winner of the primary then this country does deserve four more years of the Senile Orange in power

Those are center right positions. In fact the US had next to zero college tuition, but now that’s considered ‘far left’.

Look at the agrarian populist movement in the 1890s, all those middle of America folks would right this off as corporate propaganda.

Bernie is the centrist, get on board if you are too.

I don't know why anyone on Wall Street would want to support a Democrat candidate when one of their talking points is to shred big business, tax the rich into oblivion and make them accountable for the plight of the poor and the vanishing middle class.
Because they're betting that the next President will be a D, and they will be looking to support the D who is least inimical to their interests. Never fear, they haven't stop donating to Rs.

One of the many reasons why this D is holding back on supporting O'Rourke, in spite of his positive qualities as a candidate.
