If you voted for dumpster the first time around, would you vote for him again simply on *economic* issues? IOW, de-regulate/ tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. Because he's certainly not responsible for unemployment numbers, or helping the middle class. Would you vote for him again, regardless of the candidate on the other side? Because most all of them are pretty much the same, with both bernie and joey being slightly different.
It is far from clear what or who is responsible for helping the poor or middle class.
I think what will animate voters the most is SCOTUS. RBG will likely not make it to 2024, so the question becomes who replaces her. Hopefully, we get another Gorsuch and can be rid of Chevron.
I morally abstain from voting, but if I were to vote I'd have to write-in some candidate; maybe Cuban haha. Trump isn't a great pick for norm reasons. Biden is a lousy pick from SCOTUS perspective. Lizzie Warren -- who I don't think will make it to Super Tuesday -- would be a disaster of epic portions. Ditto Bernie. Beto is interesting. Harris' record as an AG is disqualifying. Spartacus should be disqualified based on BK. Mean Amy is interesting. America's mayor is a moron.
I’d be pretty shocked if any of these Dems didn’t nominate Merrick Garland again for SCOTUS. He has the credentials, his record is mostly moderate, and even a fair number of Republicans felt he got a raw deal. Maybe some of the more extreme leftists like Bernie or Warren would reach for a highly liberal leaning justice, but they would still need numbers in the Senate to make that happen. As for me personally, I have to see how far this field of Democrats will have to move to the left to gain their nomination. If the radical left can be muted and one of these Dems can show any promise that they might be able to govern from the middle I would vote for them. But most likely I’ll be voting 3rd party.
