Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Washington Post-What we learned from Bernie Sanders's town hall [View all]Mr. Evil
(2,860 posts)Having this many Democrats (And please don't point out the obvious that Bernie isn't a 'Democrat.' He's more of a Democrat than Joe Manchin.) in the field this early on is a good thing. Maybe instead of disparaging articles like this one and the many more to come that will try to divide us, maybe we should focus on the positive aspects of each candidate's platform. They all have good ideas and plans, more or less, and we should hope that whomever wins the nomination will be able to pull a little from each candidate and form an unbeatable juggernaut to the White House.
What we should be focusing on is not how we can divide ourselves but, how we paint the Republicans as the ones hell bent on dividing this nation and making it even more worse than it is today. I won't take the bait and I will support the Democratic nominee. That person may not be my favorite choice but, I realize that it is imperative that I support them nonetheless. I will listen to each and every one of them and give them every opportunity to convince me they are up to the task of directing our country into a more prosperous and equitable future.
We should put all our energy into encouraging our candidates and making sure beyond any shadow of a doubt that a Republican (Trump or anyone else) is not elected president in 2020 or for a very long time after that.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
