Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Debunking the Buttigieg/Zuckerberg tosh. The FB employees went to them and ASKED Zuck and his wife [View all]MBS
(9,688 posts)5. Thanks a lot for this, Celerity!

This is a valuable thread - sane responses from sane people about the latest fly-off-the-handle nonsense. Oh, and to state the obvious: Lis Smith is a treasure.
Picking a great campaign staff (and he DOES have great staff - extremely competent, and kind, too) is a sign that Pete and his team have their act completely together. A good sign that he'll pick terrific staff as president, too.
His staff are also also good evidence that Pete is very clear about who he is, why he's running, and what his priorities are. Often, it seems to me, if a candidate is muddled about why he/she is running, the campaign staff will also be muddled and in disarray. Pete is not, and neither is his staff.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
