      A Sanders/Harris ticket (in either order) would have been great for people like me but I don’t think it would fly with much of the US

        It’s kinda wild but I really like that idea. Socialistic ideologies moderated by a person who understands law and nuance surrounding it. Could be good for America.

      I love Bernie, but he’s even older than Biden, who is dropping out due to concerns over his age.

      Real question, what is there to like about Harris? The more I read about her the more things I learn that I disagree with.

      It’s really hard for me to get past her pro-Israel, pro prison labor (legalized slavery) stances. I’m trying here, but I’m not seeing the good.

        I can’t tell you what to like and not like about her. Who would you like instead?

        I’d personally prefer someone like Sanders on the policies, but, as a progressive, Harris is much better than anyone I’ve had the opportunity to vote for as President, ever.

          I honestly don’t know enough about the whole gamut of politicians. I guess the two politicians I align with the most with are AOC and Bernie.

          I’m looking for a candidate who’s main concerns are dealing with the looming climate change crisis, shifting power from billionaires back to workers, and a strong anti-genocide stance.

            For all of those priorities, Harris is pretty darn close. Definitely the closest we’ve ever seen.
