[Serious] Who's your favorite Dem candidate?

Like it or not, there’s basically three main choices for the Democratic nominee that have any chance at the nomination, Biden has a depressingly long track record as a gaffe-spewing dinosaur whose politics still seem to be stuck in the Clinton years even as the party is moving far beyond it, and Elizabeth Warren, well, pushing a Cherokee Princess narrative on herself aside, the more I look at it, the more convinced I become that she’d just be a repeat of Hilary. She even had her own conservative phase, and an even longer one at that! Just compensate with a heaping dose of identity politics, and you get the strong impression that even if she wins the election by a wide margin, she’ll still lose. Just like Hilary. So you can see why I chose who I did.

So simply because Elizabeth Warren is a woman you charge her with 'identity politics'.  Strange how that works.

Bernie Sanders is too old.  He might not even survive to the election, in which case we're left with whoever he chose for Vice President.  And if we're being honest, Bernie doesn't hire the best people.  Especially if we look at the sexual harassment claims and how they were treated in the last primaries.  I doubt that Bernie himself was aware, but the people he hired no doubt WERE aware.  And they failed miserably.    Not to mention the fact that they paid female employees at HIGHER positions less money, and I find it difficult to believe that Sanders is able to pick the right people, even if he has good ideas and a good record himself.  And a number of his supporters are quite worrisome. 

Elizabeth Warren on the other hand has led by example when it comes to Equal Pay.  Her staffers are paid equally, regardless of their gender.  

The fact that she USED to be a Republican is irrelevant.  Donald Trump used to be a Democrat.  He donated to Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton -- and is good friends with Bill Clinton.  So I'm not sure why that argument really flies here.

It really is telling though, that Sanders supporters resort to this whole "Identity Politics" thing, which is a completely right-wing talking point.  Especially when it comes to FEMALE candidates.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
