There\u2019s a lot to worry about right now. COVID-19 is ripping through America, unemployment is soaring, and soon healthy folks will have to put on their \u201cgoing out sweatpants\u201d and head to the polls.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin primary election is still scheduled for April 7<\/a>, and a lot is at stake. There\u2019s a contentious Democratic presidential primary, and voters will also make a choice for state Supreme Court<\/strong><\/a>. Add in local contests for school and county boards and a confusing referendum<\/strong><\/a> and it\u2019s a lot to process given the existential circumstances.<\/p>\n

Over the next couple days, let\u2019s look at what\u2019s on the ballot. Next up:<\/span>\n

President of the United States<\/h2>\n

You thought the 2016 race was bad? Buddy, you\u2019re in for a rude awakening. Donald Trump <\/strong>is running for re-election, which he\u2019s pretty much been doing since<\/a> he took office. He will be the Republican nominee; the GOP is Trump\u2019s party now. The question is who will be squaring off against him.<\/p>\n

There are still about a dozen names on the ballot, but it\u2019s a two-horse race at this point between former veep Joe Biden<\/strong> and independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders<\/strong>. The Democratic Party is hedging on Biden, who\u2019s secured endorsements<\/a> from former opponents like Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Biden is a centrist, which some Democrats hope will sway #NeverTrump Republicans. He\u2019s also super charismatic, with an innate ability to connect with voters on a personal level. Biden is also strongly <\/em>anti-malarkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s telling that some of his strongest policy stances came from being pushed left by Bernie<\/a>. Without tipping my hand, I think the greatest case for the Vermont senator is his advocacy for Medicare for All<\/a>. In the middle of a deadly pandemic<\/a>, it\u2019s not unreasonable to ask why we\u2019re the only major country in the world without nationalized healthcare. Yet even as the death toll continues to rise<\/a>, Biden is still pushing a plan that would leave millions uninsured<\/a>. Add in some of the other<\/a> issues<\/a> dogging Biden and it sounds a lot like malarkey to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
