As a leftist, this cycle it's all about getting Our Democracy back on a sound foundation.
Prez Joe has done good by me with his picks.
The job to rebuild and strengthen the guardrails of Our Constitution will take years and I am putting aside a lot of my personal platform in order to serve Together with EVERYONE on ALL Aspects on the sane political spectrum.
I refuse to let the perfect stand in the way of The Good for All of Us.
