7. From my observation, you both are hitting each other's hot buttons.

I don't consider myself a Bernie groupie, but I do believe that he's closer to Elizabeth Warren's overall platform. It might not require a revolution, but we do need dynamic change.

But I'm not here to convert anyone, but to make this important point: We all have hot buttons. Mine is the way Biden supporters claim that a win for Biden means that the movement is toward moderation and away from a revolution. I'm here to say, no it's not. A win for Biden means that we all want to beat Trump. Any other interpretation is counter-productive to our goal for unity.

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