In reply to the discussion: Newsom Echoes Progressives: Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders Shape the Future Democrats Need [View all]Jack Valentino
(4,183 posts)33. I voted for Joe Biden in 2020, because I thought he had the best chance of winning---
even though I might have agreed more with Bernie Sanders
on a lot of specific issues----
but after he was elected, Joe Biden paid a good deal of attention
to Bernie Sanders on many issues--- I was not disappointed in Joe....
The most important thing in 2020 was to kick Trump's smelly ass OUT
of the White House--- and we certainly did THAT !
(And President 'Fighting Joe' Biden then became
the most progressive Democratic President
in modern history!)

I voted for Bernie in the CA primary over Joe because I thought he had the better chance of winning.
