AMERICAN BLUE VOTERS:

Things to remember if the nominee is NOT your first, or even second, choice:

  1. You’re not just voting for a President.
  2. You’re voting for who replaces RBG on the Supreme Court.
  3. You’re voting for the next Secretary of Education.
  4. You’re voting for federal judges.
  5. You’re voting for the rule of law.
  6. You’re voting for saving national parks.
  7. You’re voting for letting kids out of cages.
  8. You’re voting for clean air and clean water.
  9. You’re voting for scientists to be allowed to speak about climate change.
  10. You’re voting for what a President says and does on Twitter.
  11. You’re voting for housing rights.
  12. You’re voting for LGBTQ people to be treated with dignity.
  13. You’re voting for non-Christians to be able to adopt and to feel like full citizens.
  14. You’re voting for Dreamers.
  15. You’re voting so that there will be Social Security and Medicare when you retire.
  16. You’re voting for veterans to get the care they deserve.
  17. You’re voting for rural hospitals.
  18. You’re voting so that someone else can have health insurance.
  19. You’re voting for the preservation of PBS.
  20. You’re voting to have a President who doesn’t embarrass this country every time she or he attends an international meeting.
  21. And you’re voting against allowing the USA to become yet another authoritarian regime.
  22. You’re voting for sensible gun laws.

NO Democrat is perfect but any Democrat is so much better than Donald Trump.

Your first AND second choices may have dropped out. Your third might. But the nominee, no matter who she or he is, won’t be perfect. They won’t pass your purity test. And yet every single one of them will be better than four more years of Trump!!!

Please be reasonable.

Share widely so we can stay united!

This is how it’s done.

Recognize the inevitable, be classy, and further the goals of the vast majority of the party you belong to, in order to stamp out the Orange Menace.

Duh. Whipping supporters/endorsers is like whipping votes. Team Biden is demonstrating a core competency of an effective presidential administration.

No shit. And the republic owes it’s survival to her and Pete (and a lesser degree Mike) putting their personal power fantasy’s aside for the imperative of winning in 2020.

Imagine what it would have been like had the republicans not been so selfish. We are luckly to have people like Pete and Amy running, not Ted Cruz.

And oh, Amy would make a very good VP. I still like the idea of Stacey Abrams, but Amy is the safe choice.

Well, with your unbridled hostility and derision towards the anointed one, it’s to be expected.

SSo the BLM protest that forced her to cancel a rally in Minneapolis was not a factor? I think it was, and that she is patching over her own history and covering that up so she can keep her Senate seat.

Your comment is typical centrist nonsense.

Ridiculous. To get progressives out, Biden will need to name a progressive as VP. Maybe AOC or Che Guevara. That is if Biden even wins. The corporatist establishment cannot go against the billions of progressives that run the Democratic party.
