Just changed From undecided to Biden! [View all]

All along I kept hearing Biden doesn't excite but in the past two weeks, he's completely changed man. There were so many great candidates to choose from like a menu from A Greek diner, that it was too confusing to know what I want. Now that it's down to just two candidates, is such much simpler like choosing between a hamburger or a hot dog. I don't t like Sanders, I supported him in 2016 primaries but eventually voted for Hillary. Since then, Sanders has shown himself to be aligned with so many of the "bad" policies that I was starting to feel distant towards him. The very first was when he praised tRUMP for leaving the TPP, then there was the admiration giving when tRUMP met with Kim Jong Un. finally, he and Warren campaigned relentlessly in 2016, going their separate ways in 2020 but for two people whose ideology is supposedly progressively align, for Warren not to back him after she bowed out of the race is saying something. Sure Warren also didn't back Biden but Biden wasn't ever perceived as a progressive and Warren never developed a relationship with Biden like she did with Sanders while campaigning in 2016. I just wish that he now puts his efforts to supporting Biden and perhaps angle for a Secretary of State position instead. I think he'd be a better SoS.

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