Completely false, James. Biden, the closest thing to an acceptable Democratic candidate, is not at all confidence-inspiring that he can corral the extreme left faction of his party. Electing Biden may be like electing Warren, or worse. For example, he supports the New Green Deal, which is just stupidity. He also supports "studying" reparations, but he has more reasonable tax and healthcare positions, so long as you think the ACA is reasonable. He actually has some ideas I can support on taxation, defense, and immigration, but as long as he's on board with the New Green Deal, NFW.
Sanders is pushing the absolutely stupid New Green Deal and Medicare for All proposals hard, neither of which I can ever support. The Medicare for All proposal, which he says he wrote, is a disaster. It will throw the healthcare system into turmoil and he has no idea how to pay for it, or what to do with the existing insurance industry. He has so much as said he doesn't care. Sanders does not really believe in a market economy, and has aligned with communist dictators in the past - for example, admiring Castro. Admiring Castro? I think his talk has changed, but every comment he's made reveals to me that he knows what he really thinks makes him unacceptable, so he just lies unless pressed. And then the real Bernie comes out. He is also a hypocrite, as a multi-millionaire with multiple homes who despises rich people but defends his right to be rich.
Elizabeth Warren is a former law professor who proposes an unconstitutional wealth tax, supports the New Green Deal, supports Medicare for All, unanswered problems be damned, and lied on a bar application about being a Native American. (IMO, she should be disbarred for that.) She also supports reparations for, well, whoever will vote for her. The tuition loan forgiveness program is her dumbest proposal, and is a trillion dollar insult to everyone who makes better decisions, successfully struggled to pay debts, and pays taxes. She and Sanders constitute a danger to our economy, which is our security, much more so than Trump. Warren is another hypocrite, wealthy but purports to hate the wealthy.
Kamala Harris changes her positions so often I can't tell what she supports and what she doesn't. I have no idea what she would support if elected, and her Medicare for All position is incomprehensible. She also supports reparations. She is proposing a really dumb middle class tax credit, which is not a good way to fix the income tax structure - which needs fixing badly - it is just a populist promise to give money away. She wants decriminalize illegal immigration.
Does anyone else matter? It doesn't look like it. I won't even start on Cory Booker or Andrew Yang.
As for your disgusting and insulting accusation that I think about nothing else than stock values, you're dead wrong, it's inappropriate, and you owe me a sincere apology. Seriously. For one thing, Trump's big mouth has made the equities markets a roller coaster ride, so he's not exactly an investor's friend. But he's not proposing putting the economy into turmoil, screwing up healthcare with a really dumb plan, a trillion dollar tuition loan giveaway that does nothing to fix the university system's basic problems, decriminalizing illegal immigration, or any of the dumb-ass Sanders-Warren proposals they float. I don't like Trump at all, and I'd rather not vote for him, but the Democratic leading candidates are not making any sense.
