If Biden changed his positions 24 years ago, I would agree with you. But he had similar opinions 4 years ago. He didn't support politically harmful opinions that turned out to be right like Bernie did and does. That shows me that Biden won't do much better this time around. Remember Obama wanted to close Gitmo. My point is it's not just policies, it's policies and trustworthiness to do everything to get them passed. It's policy, trustworthiness and sincerity. Do you really support these things or are you saying them to get elected. I don't think Biden or trump beat Sanders in any of them and I think Biden certainly beats Trump in policy, I'm not sold on the other 2. Bernie can still win, so there's no point discussing Biden vs Trump anyways. Get bernie to win for now. Convince people to vote for him in whatever way you can.

I believe life in the womb is a baby, no matter what stage. I don't know what pro lifer doesn't think that. Therefore any abortion is murder. And like I said, I'm not straight Republican with everything, who knows which party is vote for I'd abortion was resolved. I certainly don't like elderly, poor, widows, etc. Being abused and left to die either. All of it is terrible. But those people can at least protest, speak up to defend themselves, literally ask people for help (even begging in the streets), whereas babies in the womb are completely helpless to the decision of their mothers. The only thing they can do is try to squirm away from the torturous device that is attempting to chop their body up, as has been shown and documented. They are the most vulnerable and so they are the priority. There's been over 50 million abortions in America since Roe v. Wade. It's devastating.

Once it is outlawed by the Supreme Court I will then focus my shift on supporting other vulnerable groups that are being left in desperate situations.

So is a germ and egg life for you? What about a gemate or a germinated egg? I see no reason how you can call a single cell living or even a clot of unspecialized cells. And I don't mean the biological living kind. Your skin cells die by billions each day and so do a lot of cells inside your body that are replaced constantly. There is nothing other than emotional intuition in deciding what is humam life or not.

The privileged life of a teacher... I hear we are overpaid all the time...  and getting rid of trump is very important.  It might be hyperbole to call it the most important, but the man is a trainwreck.  He needs to be removed from any kind of power...

I believe that one is for you. Who replaced Trump is more important than him leaving. Because more of the same will lead to someone worse than Trump. The US does not have a bright future with Trump or Biden. A return to so-called normalcy will harm you as well and your students and their parents and their grandparents. Beating Trump is the first step. And yes, he is a trainwreck but I can easily see Biden being a trainwreck in a different way. Why vote for someone who has the potential to be a trainwreck?

Voted for the first time today. Voted for Sanders on my early Arizona ballot.

However (and unfortunately), ready to vote for Biden, if he does become the nominee, in November.

Let me repeat what you just said: You aren't sold that Biden beats Trump in sincerity and trustworthiness.

What?

That comparison is just so inherently ludicrous. Yes, Biden has had a long political career with some questionable decisions, but while I see some reason to doubt that he would be a significant step forward, I see no reason to assume he would be a step backwards. Four more years of Trump is just so incredibly and inherently damaging. Like, those four years could easily turn into a 7-2 conservative majority in the Supreme Court. As you are clearly pro-choice, to even compare a Biden presidency to a Trump presidency seems to be missing the forest for the trees.

While I support Bernie as my primary candidate, I will vote for Biden in an instant if he is the candidate. To suggest that four years of Trump would be better because we could deal with it in 2024 seems to me to be coming from a point of privilege (as you said to gergroy). While four more years of Trump may or may not impact you personally in a great way, all the people who are suffering under him and his choices may not have the luxury of just waiting it out for another four years for a shot at a better candidate.

Welp

I was right

Bernie is basically dead

27 people spoke too soon.

Gonna guess your answer will now be very obvious?
