Anti-oligarchy, anti-militarism. He lost by just 2% in Illinois.

But I voted with tears in my eyes for Hillary in the general, believing that I was voting for the first woman US president.

Voted with tears in my eyes for Kamala, believing that I was voting for the first woman US president.

I doubt I will be alive to see the first woman president.
