Who is your preferred Democratic presidential candidate, and why? - eviltoast

I’m interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven’t kept track of the potential options.

    I don’t think that there are any that I would back 100%. There are a lot that I could support 90% or more, like Sanders and Warren. Even AOC.

    OTOH, I also strongly believe in 2A rights–in addition to freedom of/from religion, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc.–and there simply are not any Democratic candidates that I’m aware of that support 2A rights. They always say, “I support 2A rights, but…”, and that “but” immediately precedes ideas to restrict 2A rights in significant ways. (“I support 2A rights, but I just don’t think that anyone needs a gun other than a muzzle loading Kentucky long rifle.”)

    In short, I’ll never support any Republican more than, at most, 40%. I have yet to find any Democrat that I can support more than 90%.
