18. Sorry, but it helps none of that.

It doesn't help down-ticket races because he only picks and chooses a few people to support and essentially ignores that rest.

It doesn't help "prepare" Biden for anything. Biden is clearly ready to be president at this exact moment, as clearly evidenced by his response on COVID-19.

It doesn't help other races because it takes attention and money away from them.

It's not going to "pull states to the left" because most of them have already indicated that they don't *want* to go to the left. Plus, if we take a big shift to the left, we lose in November.

"People are not looking at the big picture."

Well, some aren't.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
