3. Political suicide it is as well as . . .

national suicide. I honestly do not think some people realize how we're teetering on the abyss with this upcoming election. Otherwise, the Winning is Everything chant would be a thing, instead of the whining about the past, nitpicking former comments and/or poo-flinging to raise the profiles of particular candidates.

We must win. We must win with the largest margin. All our candidates support basic Democratic policies: universal healthcare, voting rights, climate change, gun control, women's reproductive rights, workers' rights, etc., etc. etc. The way we get there may vary but the goals are the same.

IMHO, the choice comes down to who can decidedly beat Trump and his ugly enablers (which means winning back PA, MI,& WI), who will have coattails for our House and Senate candidates and who has the experience and political savvy to repair what's been damaged.

Hands down, the candidate who fulfills that bill is Joe Biden. Just is.
