In reply to the discussion: Why vote for Sanders when you can have Elizabeth Warren instead? [View all]Awsi Dooger

I post on sports message boards dominated by white males. Elizabeth Warren is mocked all the time, and it decreased only when Ocasio-Cortez came onto the scene. Bernie Sanders is respected on those forums, even if they disagree with his policies. Sanders has rare degree of likability and teflon.
I prioritize margin for error against Trump. IMO, Elizabeth Warren is near the bottom of that category. I really like her, but I also really liked Andrew Gillum. I didn't vote for Gillum in the Florida primary because I understood that Gwen Graham was more electable. The native American stuff and the unfortunate nickname are something we should not ignore regarding Warren. We tried to ignore the Tallahassee FBI stuff with Gillum.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
