Yes- It's good to change the label of a political agenda to make it more palatable.


If you are a commie, just have the guts to say you are a commie and own it.

Yep, best to play word games when an ideology is unpalatable.

Bernie's health in his late 70s is a bigger factor this time. I would still vote for him, but he needs to say who he would pick for VP early.


Michigan's primary is in March, the 2nd month of a 5 month process. Anyone I like could be gone by then.

Biden's life expectancy doesn't cover one term in office. Plus he's had 2 brain aneurysms.

I think democrats would be smart to have both sides of the democratic spectrum on the ticket. If Biden wins, bring Sanders with him. If Sanders wins, bring Biden with him.

Biden is more of a centrist and will get a lot of middle-aged, white voters from the northeast and mid-west to the booths. Sanders is a progressive and will get millennials and Gen Z on to the booths.

Personal opinions aside and just talking facts, the only two dems who actually have a chance to win in the pool of 20+ candidates are Bernie and Biden. The rest of them are just wasting their time and attacking each other needlessly.

Democrats need to become a united front, and I think a Bernie/Biden - Biden/Bernie ticket would be the best way to push forward and beat Trump.

Biden is WAY to old and medically unfit for the job. I won’t even get started on his liberal policies but he unfortunately is moderate compared to the other loons. Trump will be elected. November 2020 will see troops in the streets, mass leftist uprisings and total chaos. It will look like Caracas our there.

And, by the way, I'm not female!
Thats a very condescending statement towards women. Just step back Men let the little Lady have a chance. i.e. Women "need" men to step back or else they won't win.
