15. "Intelligence" is a relative thing

I am a former poll worker. I remember working the polls in 2000. I was the chairperson of the precinct. One of my voters was a young man who clearly had Downs Syndrome.

He was intelligent. He knew to vote for Gore. It was obvious to him.

Forgive Bernie Bro's - it isn't clear what that means. In all groups there is a wide spectrum of individuals. It is unwise and counterproductive to group. Instead, we should work to move those who are movable.

I will admit that the first couple weeks after the South Carolina primary my hair was very much rubbed the wrong way by the Biden supporters. I have come to relax and realize it was all in the emotions of the moment (not necessarily mine = Biden Bros suffer some of the same.)

I would advise that we refrain from the "Bernie Bros" label. I believe it is counterproductive for our goals of getting rid of tRump.


























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