I just don't have any faith in any one of them to rise above the rest. I like Bernie but he makes it a hard sell when he just comes out and says taxes will rise on the middle class.

Biden just looks weak at the moment, it's a free for all and he should be seizing the opportunity but he's not coming out with anything that inspires confidence other than "we're gonna fix Trump's fuckups."

Harris could be the front runner (+1 Chico I'd let her sit on my face, which is also totally irrelevant to the conversation) but her history as a prosecutor and the fact that she's trying to present herself as this progressive candiate when she was the exact opposite as a prosecutor is seriously alarming. People can change, sure, but she was all about the convictions in her legal days and she's trying to pretend like she wasn't.

Warren is probably the least inspiring of the 4. Her responses to Trump's attacks have been weak, and it looks like she has less support than Clinton did in '16. I haven't seen any plan from her that makes me think she knows what she's doing.

The worst part is I'm probably going to vote for whichever one it is regardless because you know the right is going to show up on polling day. A week before the election we're probably going to see a nonstop marathon of "if Dems win, they're taking away your guns, allowing free 3rd trimester abortions to immigrants paid for by your tax dollars, letting MS-13 roam free in all their sanctuary cities, defunding all the local and federal police forces, and raising your taxes to 40/50 percent."

Right now the Dems are having a real scattershot response to Trump's fear machine. And he's only going to ramp it up as we get closer because fear is selling.
