133. I don't

Sun Jul 21, 2024, 06:32 PM

Jul 2024

know how Joe Biden feels about it since I haven't asked him directly, but I know what they just did to me. Decades of loyalty only to be told my primary vote was now invalid. It appears to me that Joe was going to run it through to the end and pressured to do this.
Again, I can't say that for certain, but that sure it what it smells like.
