When the Democratic primary began in earnest, the party chairman, Tom Perez, called the field “an embarrassment of riches.”
The party appeared particularly proud of its diverse array of candidates, spanning from a former businessman-turned-congressman, to the first LGBT presidential candidate, to minority candidates (both black and Hispanic and 1/1,024 Native American), to governors, to former members of the military, to energy healers, Andrew Yang, and even ordinary white guys.
As the primary process unfolded, Democratic voters whittled down their choices, and along the way, the field became notably older and more monochromatic.
Today, Democrats’ last “diverse” candidate, Elizabeth Warren, dropped from the contest, leaving just two remaining options: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

Sanders, a 78-year-old lifetime politician who has once previously failed at capturing the presidency, is known mostly for his affinity for communist regimes and for being America’s most prominent socialist.

Not true! Gabbard has 1 delegate and has not dropped out of the race.
Gabbard is a loser and just holding on hoping someone will pay her for services rendered
The latest theory is that if the democrats elect Biden, he will resign shortly afterwards so they can keep a President for two and a half terms. Important to see who he gets as a running mate.
