Like you said, we are seen as a minority within the party. Voting Biden in the upcoming Primaries only makes us look even smaller, and thus both necessitating and allowing the party to move to the right.

We can’t let them discount us in such a way. We need to show them just how many of us there are, especially in the primary.

In the general election, I agree with you. Moderates are a necessity and we should Vote Blue no matter who.

If we can show them that we are both a reliable voting block (vote dem in Nov) and a significant portion of the party (vote for those as liberal as we are) in the primary that will be the best way to pressure them to the left.

Vote your conscience now (Warren/Sanders/etc), vote blue in November!

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