and I like that fact.

because its all up for grabs. My impression is that she understands that. She understands the way power and money corrupt. considering that is where we are, exactly, I am listening to the way she plows forward with critical thinking. after trump, critical thinking is very sexy. And, she seems to apply it at every level.

I've heard her plans for everything relevant to our lives. Given she is running for president, that is what I expect. I NO LONGER expect a president to be and proclaim god like powers to do everyting we need a president to do. Trump has impacted that thought stream. i intent to learn from it.

I pick a candidate based on their actions and then listen to intentions. So far, she is the most relevant voice and has a serious vein of intentions running through her.

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

Joe Biden Believes in the Good Will of Republicans. Is That Naive? [View all] BeyondGeography Sep 2019 OP

Nothing in that article talks about Biden's present opinion of republicans or McConnell... George II Sep 2019 #1

Because Glenn Thrush just wrote it? BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #2

What he says in that article is irrelevant in 2019. George II Sep 2019 #3

Did Biden denounce his postions from 2012-2014? bluewater Sep 2019 #4

Was he asked to denounce positions from 2012-2014? George II Sep 2019 #7

No, his supporters just can't deny that those are Joe's positions HeartlandProgressive Sep 2019 #24

sure they can...you have nothing current...and I for one want a candidate who will try to work with Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #27

so Biden's supporters can deny he said what he said and meant it? HeartlandProgressive Sep 2019 #29

Why don't you just post something positive about your preferred candidate? ehrnst Sep 2019 #43

do you follow this advice yourself? HeartlandProgressive Sep 2019 #67

It's your advice, Hon, not mine. Got called out on committing your own 'selective outrage" ehrnst Sep 2019 #68

Of course Biden should denounce goodwill. LanternWaste Sep 2019 #51

You can prefer Biden's way. The rest of us live in a reality where Repubs oppose us at every turn. LonePirate Sep 2019 #36

So we throw up our hands and give up...just spend four years accomplishing nothing? We won't win Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #45

The presidential candidates have to campaign on flipping the Senate or they will accomplish nothing. LonePirate Sep 2019 #59
