two cents on the 2020 primary
1. Joe Biden is horrible.
Don’t vote for him. He’s too racist, too moderate, and won’t do what we need.
(Exception: if he wins the nomination, he’s better than Trump.)
2. Buttigieg is a wildcard
The segment of voters he’s catering to is different. I think he’s interesting.
I personally wouldn’t vote for him, as I don’t want another white man in office. It is cool that he’s gay however, and I think he would be good for all the closeted gay kids. As a lesbian however, I’d rather have a straight woman than a gay man. (Make your own opinion about this one)
Literally whomever wins the nomination should steal his climate plan. And put him in the cabinet somewhere. I personally don’t think he has a realistic chance of winning, but y’know, weirder things have happened.
4. Warren is brilliant at policy.
She's my realistic choice for the nomination. She’s brilliant and she deserves to win it.
5. Stop worrying so much about electability
‘Electability’ is such an amorphous concept that it provides a great way for our biases to sneak in and point us towards old, straight white men.
Like Biden. Don’t vote for Biden.
