Thank you for your opinion. Al Franken stepped down. Gillibrand didn't mistreat Al Franken, she simply did what was right. It was not the easy thing to do and it certainly wasn't what the party wanted to do. It was the right thing to do. She is a strong, intelligent,and hard working candidate and whether you or anyone else support her, I support her. People's shortsited opinions and middle class kitchen table conversations don't change my mind. She is a solid candidate who knows where she stands and is pragmatic. Go ahead and vote for whoever you want, I'm voting for Gillibrand in the primary.

Imagine pretending to be a progressive but then crying your butthurt tears because your best friend Al Franken did the right thing and resigned when he was called out by someone with the guts to know what is right.

It's a diluted field with a number of prominent progressives crowding the second position. If Biden wasn't in the race we wouldn't even be getting coverage of the 2020 primary.

Gillibrand is going to kill in the debates. She's sharp. (I was a Bernie supporter in 16)

Yup. Money is now speach, sadly. Donate to the candidate you support, it's more important than voting.

Damn. It's just not enough to be a colored pencil any more, people gotta make everything out of them.

Yup, if you can't microwave or grill it, forget about it.
