16. I am not very invested in Gabbard.

I am not invested in Gabbard at all. I barely knew who she was until I started hearing all these conspiracy theories that she's a Russian agent and that Putin is trying to use her as a useful idiot, that she's going to become a spoiler, and that she was going to run as an independent.

Here is what I am invested in: principles and values. Democracy and objectivity are two of my values and as such fairness in elections and primaries. Seeing the Democratic Party establishment making stuff up about a candidate like Bernie and Gabbard actually has driven me away from the moderate side, where I am inclined.

This is still why I am Undecided, asking for objectivity and challenging people logically, but that isn't what your response is about.

So, do you agree or will you claim again that I am very invested in Gabbard, when I am not?

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