I'm seeing many people make the mistake of thinking Biden and Buttigieg have the same appeal, they do in some ways and in others the two are night and day. People aren't just going to anoint Biden as there pick because Buttigieg is out. Also the rush to Biden after SC is a little predictable and premature as Super Tuesday could rewrite the script for everyone. It's fun and all to root for "our guy or gal" but the thought needs to be how do we start to pivot the parties narrative after Tuesday. Regardless of who comes out in the lead we need to start respecting the ideological left of the party. We need to avoid the same talking points of the pundits and Republicans who say we cant ask for more than what the Republicans are willing to give us. In the same vein we have to be willing to have the uncomfortable conversation of what is too much to ask for. Where does the political calculus lead us to offer up our principles and compromise for some movement of issues. Getting chicken when we ask of steak is progress when NOTHING is the alternative. May the will of the people be respected and listened too. Regardless of who wins.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
