Of COURSE Id love to see Kamala back in. Id love to see a woman in office before I die. But hes so hard to be an ass to unless you just plain admit youre a bigot. And hes eager to make change.

I rack my brains (wrack?) for someone who will generate trust and enthusiasm and AOC has a shot someday but not yet. I wish I was younger. In twenty years we might take it back. I do hope to see the beginnings though.
