    So what candidate has your favor at the moment?

    Right now? AOC, Bernie and Whitmer have my attention. I’ll settle as we get closer to Super Tuesday, but even Newsom (whose very much right: offense>defense) or Phillips (whose basically a younger version of Biden) would be better candidates than Biden. Fetterman was on the list, too, but he’s too… gung ho for Israel now.

        So she managed to take a republican stronghold state (Michigan), defeat their candidate in the goobener race managed to work across the aisle to get stuff done and then got re-elected and flip the state congress to democratic control.

        In her second term, she’s proving reasonably progressive, enough that… yeah. I’d happily vote for her. Still looking for the warts. every politician has them, mind… but I’ve only really been looking into her after the weekend.

      AOC, Bernie and Whitmer have my attention.

      None of whom are capable of receiving your vote as none of them are even running for the nomination. So how will you vote for any of them?

      edit: I see Phillips is actually running, so if your state Democratic party is having a primary for the presidential nominee you could at least vote for him.

        In really childish handwriting. With a black crayon. Just to really trigger whoever is counting it.
