1. He certainly doesn't advocate anything positive for or about the Democratic party.

I'll never understand why anyone thinks it's a good idea to do and say things that divide and weaken the Democratic party. The smears and lies and attacks only serve to create distrust and resentment, and that weakens the ONLY party that has any chance of defeating the GOP. The constant declarations that the Democrats are "corrupt" and "no different from the GOP" only creates negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

An "advocate" doesn't do that. What good purpose does it serve?

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