by the time of the maryland primary

my reason is that I do believe that politics is about coalition-building
and anyone that wants to pass laws whether in the house or senate, needs to have that support- or be willing to build it

to me the best person for that is warren
I see her as being focused, willing to work with other congressional folk to get things done
and i really like her policy platform and the fact that she has put a lot of thought on how we will need to disinfect
the effects of the administration at all levels (e.g. rebuild the civil work-force, various fed departments etc)
so yes, I see her policies as being more likely to go somewhere.

my second choice here is biden -because again he has that support/goodwill
at the place that matters when it comes to passing policies and legislation
he's misguided to think that republicans will come around or that things can go back to some new normal
but the house has proven that it can legislate and pass bills that are needed
we need the senate to actually move things forward
i don't see biden as standing in the way of the progress that has already started.


the president doesnt write the laws - he needs to have the support of the place that does.
and yes, that place is *the establishment*
the president is not some superhero that swoops in and with a wave of the hand everything changes
s/he actually needs to play well with others
