2020 Presidential Election

[Martina]

I have to say I am seeing more Dems attacking other Dems. It's a primary. I guess you have to. But after my choice of Bernie and Kamala, I just don't care. I don't hate any of the other candidates although with Booker I come close. That Tulsi Gabbard definitely makes me uncomfortable. But really, none is so God awful that I wouldn't vote for them if they got the nomination.

A lot of mainstream Dems are getting on Socialist sites and shaking their little fists, saying you better vote blue no matter what. That shit so backfires. And the progressives picking apart every vote and decision the mainstream Dems have made have me rolling my eyes. I'm like, no shit, they're Democrats.

It is frustrating though. Trump is actually looking stronger. And the world, IMO, is getting more fucked up by the day. The news about the environment is terrifying. It would be good to field a strong alternative who could excite independents and disaffected Republicans.

The thing about Kamala is that people respect her. I think that is especially meaningful in this election. People might view her as someone who could make them feel safe. Bernie can really inspire people. Mayor Pete, people seem to like. We definitely need a candidate people can feel good about voting for for whatever reason. We can't risk another hold your nose candidate. Or even an I don't care that much candidate. It doesn't matter what quality, whether it's strength or vision or whatever, we definitely need someone people can feel good about voting for.
