11. So, promise a whole lot of stuff that cannot and will not be done to make people feel good?

The Sanders and AOC are doing nothing. It is the Pelosi and the Obama's that are doing stuff. What does it say about that Sanders vote or that Republican vote?

Merely referring to what has been happening nationwide with the "status quo" controlling the Democratic party. We have been losing. Last election we had the best, most qualified candidate and yet we lost to the jerk in the oval office now.

13. Change for the sake of change, especially when we see who does nothing, who actually accomplishes

To ignore all that happened in last election is disingenuous.

15. am not ignoring what happened in the last election

We elected some left wing representatives in some republican districts, the "Squad". and some establishment Representatives also.
Am pointing out what has been happening for the last 20 years or so.
By the way Amy Klobuchar is #2 on my list. I have liked her ever since i saw the way she handled herself in the Kavanaugh hearings.

Don't recall the actual thread but it was shared on here somewhere that it really makes no difference what Democrat gets elected. Bernie will not be able to get his grandiose programs passed and Biden or whoever will have to move a bit to the left to accomplish anything.

14. Btw, I will take Warren hands down. Solid Democrat. You know, that establishment or "status quo"

you speak of. I prefer her to Klobuchar fro her outspokenness. But, have Klobuchar now because she has the momentum. Warren is one Democrat that gets things done. Status quo.
