Good enough that I’m not changing my voting decision with this in mind.
I haven't seen it, but there seems to be (at least to me) a bunch of dem candidates that are much more likeable than Biden or Warren that I wish would have a true chance.

Warren is pretty likable, in her way. She’s had some bad moments, but she definitely knows her stuff and her supporters feel that.
I'm too lazy to do my research, but is there a vid you would recommend of her's?

I’m not a big video hound. Most of what I know about her comes from reporting on her background. If you’re looking for someone with chops on the causes and consequences of the 2008 recession, then she’s your guy. She knows the debt problem as well as any American out there. That alone pretty much qualifies her for the highest public office, imo. But she also has a good legislative sense, I think. And, it seems that people like working for her.

For transparency in these discussions:
I’ve been a monthly contributor to Bernie’s campaign(s) since 2016. I contribute because I know that his message is pulling the conversation in this country in the right directions. He’s been right about the causes of wealth inequality, the cultural consequences of grow-or-die capitalism, the need to do something ****ing drastic for the environment, student debt, health care problems, etc. The dude has been talking about most of those things for 30 straight years.
If he doesn’t win, I won’t feel like I’ve wasted a single dollar.

Fair enough, thanks. Last time around I remember hoping she would get the nomination over Clinton. Now I find myself rooting for Gabbard and Yang over Warren LOL.

I need to look into Yang more. The field has been so crowded, and I’ve been doing the Bernie thing while it gets winnowed down. But he seems worth a gander.
Warren is a serious candidate by every standard. When I looked deeper into her background, it was impossible not to be impressed.
Nuanced discussion aside, I think this turns into another RvD election and the Dunkster wins again.
If he is the Democrat nominee, he will have my vote as well. I did stand in line for 3 hours to vote for him in the Utah caucus in 2016 after all.
I just wish he and Warren were younger.
