that turns people off. Many older Americans realize that such profound change will not happen in our current climate of partisanship. Even in the best scenario, with us winning both the House and Senate, the disinformation campaign from the repubs will be enough to derail the massive spending that is required to even begin to implement the Sander's social programs.

Look what happened with the ACA. We ended up with a very watered down version of what we started with, and that is when we had control of the house.

We want a realistic leader, not one that will go in and spin their wheels madly, while nothing of significance gets accomplished.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
