I'm a big NOPE on Bernie & Warren. Bernie's too old and brings along too much baggage. Warren literally can't win due to the way she has interacted with Trump thus far.

I love me some Mayor Pete but I'd prefer someone with more experience (he'd be my 2nd overall though in a fantasy world).

Beto is meh.
Weren't you Bernie's biggest bro in 2016
yep. i was. that was four years ago. the political landscape has changed and bernie is great but his legions of rabid neckbeards have poisoned that well

Who is the heel? If I'm booking the DNC, Harris stays in a rest hold while some toxic male psudo-trump goes through and gets the monster heel push. She landslides him in the primary, and that puts her over the top in the general election at wrestlemania

Oh no that's fair I just thought I was misremembering

Bernie's okay and I'll vote for him but I wish there was someone less toxic

Let me introduce you to Elizabeth Warren.

You're making assumptions about "momentum" too. Sanders is arguably the front-runner, but given I think you're drawing on Sander's "insurgent" campaign rather than front-runner status...

that's perfectly fine, bins! It's one of the reasons I did it so "early jfc" (as one respondent put it). I want to see how people's preferences shift as the race goes on.

warren also probably cannot win because she has waded into the shit with donald during his tenure. she won't do anything to swing any votes in the general
