The primary goal of sane voters should be to decisively defeat Trump.

Yes, there are policy differences, sometimes significant differences, among the remaining candidates, but in the end, if Trump is re-elected, the next 4 years would see an increasingly erratic and out of control Trump attacking every one who opposed or opposes him on anything.

While I am a proponent of Medicare for All, a Trump victory would result in millions again losing all access to healthcare.

While I am a pacifist, a Trump victory would result in even more wars.

While I am in favor of a return to a high marginal top tax rate, a Trump victory would see more supply side lunacy.

While I would prefer that utilities be publicly owned, a Trump victory would result in the US rushing at top speed toward climate disaster.

There is no current candidate who I agree with 100%. Not one. But I know that every single one of the Democratic candidates is far superior to Trump.


I posted this, in part, because one of my favorite posters here suggested that we need more of these posts.

(I will not reveal that poster's name, but it rhymes with Eliot Hosewater.)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
