Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forum2018 was the prelude. If we remain focused, 2020 will be the main act.
At this point, I support Elizabeth Warren, but I know that among the top contenders, any one of them would be an excellent President.
It really is that simple.
But what we must do, as activists, and voters, and citizens, is not expect any candidate to work miracles. As we saw in 2010, when voters sit back and except their President to carry the load alone, bad things happen. The Tea Party wave was merely one of many examples of bad things happening.
We are the only ones who can save the country. And we can do it by being active voters, and active citizens. It is vital that every one of us who is capable do all that we can to insure a Democratic victory, not just in 2020, but in 2022 and every other election.
What is an active voter?
1) An active voter votes, obviously, and votes in every election, at every level. Many conservative politicians often start off by running for Town council, or other local posts.
2) An active voter is an educated voter. Educated on the issues, and able to articulate the issues.
3) An active voter reaches out to other people. It might be at town meetings, or local organizations. And this outreach includes discussion of the issues.
4) An active voter will, to any extent possible, work with good candidates to help reach out to voters, and potential voters.
There is much more, but remember that a substantial portion of eligible voters never vote. They can be reached, and active voters can reach them.

The GOP cannot win nationally without cheating.
