Yeah, the DNC doesn't learn from their own mistakes. I expect it to be Joe Biden -- which will guarantee another 4 years of the orange circus.

Because they have their heads too much up their own asses to read the room.

I want Bernie. I could live with Warren. Biden will guarantee a GOP win -- he's lost immense amounts of popularity over the last couple years and he does have quite a number of very questionable skeletons in his closet.

From a looking in perspective Warren is incredible and liked internationally. I think you could do far worse.


However much as I like Elizabeth Warren it seems a shame the younger candidates are not doing as well. While I was sadly due Harris would not do well she had energy and vigour that Biden and Sanders do not. Warren is young for her age; but to still be of working age of the general population would be, I think, desirable.

I always, always call it wrong so I won’t wish for her; because I dearly hope you get a candidate that both can heal domestic divide and repair international damage; The international harm done from this term brings us all into closer to dangerous territory.

My dream would be Sanders teamed with a younger running mate. For a long time I was hoping for Gabbard, but I've come to really dislike her. I could've seen Beto be beneficial. AOC teamed with Bernie would be AMAZING! She has the sass. (and I'd love that just to see the really conservative heads implode :laugh: )

The DNC desperately needs younger blood. But they also need the momentum created by a Bernie Sanders.

Warren is good, I actually like her a lot. I know she's way too establishment for the die-hard Bernie fans. But she's at the right end of the spectrum with a lot of experience and charisma, particularly internationally, as you mentioned. Unfortunately she'd face a lot of challenges that I'm doubtful she'll be able to overcome in the current climate (older, establishment, female... you name it).

The Bernie-or-Bust'ers are already very vocal on social media, and frankly, that's kind of scary.

Harris was a federal prosecutor. Federal prosecutors, as a rule, are people we really don't want to be running the country.

I love Bernie and love Warren only slightly less. I'm cool with Buttigieg and Yang. Anyone else will require me to hold my nose, but you better believe I'm gonna hold my nose.

AOC isn't old enough to be president or VP - she's only 30!!! Can't wait to vote for her when she runs though!

If it's not Biden ... I suspect it's gonna be Bloomberg. That would suck. I lived in NYC when he was mayor and he really has no idea what non-rich people are like or why he should care about them.

Still better than Emperor Cheeto though.

A lot of people will vote for Trump again. If not Trump.. Republican.

AOC is sharp, insightful . Watching her question people is delightful because it shows she is actually a ‘mind’ not a personality and a big mouth. But yes, not enough life experience for a presidency yet. Experience gives perspectives, But she is great.

She also seems to me to exemplify the American dream . She is someone people who believe in hope and integrity- regardless of party politics, can get behind as she is the best of your education system and confidence. People who disagree with her politics but knock her are a sad state of affairs.

I think it’s also notable inline with this thought that two elected women dropped out because of funding issues, while some very rich men can enter the race. It seems very ... new feudal.

They sure will. Just like last time, this election will be decided by a few votes in a few states, and it's highly possible that the candidate with the most votes will lose again.

It would be like them. I'm hoping they do better than that. He'd be about my last choice of those who are left. Some really good people in the race, though.

I love this outlook.

I like Yang and would vote for him if it weren't important to me to get someone else out of office. I also like Warren, but I don't think Trump voters would vote for a woman. I love Bernie. Love him. I hope he becomes president.
