These candidates are really the only challengers to Biden in the primaries. All of their campaigns are extremely long shots (but not impossible in my opinion- if we decided we liked them more than Biden they could win). Let’s all have a civilized discussion/debate over them. Let’s try to not focus too heavy on their perceived inability to beat Biden but focus on them as actual candidates.

my take

MW: I recently watched an interview with Marianne Williamson who I’d never heard of before (I’m sure there’s a reason media doesn’t cover her). She really impressed me with her views, especially on neoliberalism. She heavily reminds me of Bernie and isn’t running just for the sake of it or as a protest like some other long shot candidates do. In my opinion she deserves everyone’s vote in the primaries, at least. She is also very talented at oration.

CW: I’ll be honest, I know very little about him and need to do more research.

RFK JR: He’s literally a clown. He’s a nepo baby and all his views are inconsistent, harmful, and crackpot. He has no shot at winning.

    I just read cw’s Wikipedia page and boy is it a doozy. He’s really outspoken and rude. The article paints him as a 0 or 100 type of person who either hates or loves you. The is no in-between. I don’t think he’d make a good president but I think he has the right politics overall. One really odd belief cw holds is that Marxism and Christianity are incompatible with each other. I don’t understand how that can be but I didn’t look further into it.

    How is MW? She seems like she’d be generally the same political alignment as cw but maybe not so ready to throw insults at people. At least how you described her. Both cw and her endorsed Bernie.

    This really encouraged me to vote in the primaries and I’m going to see what it takes to do so in my state…
