I had a conversation today

I'm in a Tuesday morning group of mostly clergy and a lay folk or two, all of whom are Democrats.

Today, one of the group said 'only Joe Biden' could beat President Who Will Not Be Named Here.

I'm fine with Biden--I'm fine with any of the candidates and like Warren, Sanders and Harris more than Biden. But I'm fine with Biden.

I objected, saying that several Democrats could beat He WWNBNH.

That's when I was told 'no socialist leaning' candidate could win--no 'left winger'. The country, I was told was not ready for radical change.

But, as a Democratic Socialist, I think the country, at least enough to beat he WWNBNH, are willing to embrace sweeping changes.

Biden wants people like me to compromise--not go so far 'left'. And I really think, after this presidency, people will want radical changes to health care, college costs, environmental restraints, immigration, taxing the rich and other issues.

Maybe I'm wrong. I'd be fine with Biden but happier with Warren or Sanders. I'd be fine with Biden if Warren or Harris were his choice for Vice-President.

And I think it is time for radical moves, to make this once more the democracy it is meant to be and not the semi-dictatorship the current President and most of his Republican allies seem to want it to be.

Big change!

That's what I want..

But my friends in my group don't agree.

Maybe I'm wrong.
