207. The trenches of the civil rights movement.... in the Vermont countryside?
Thu May 2, 2019, 12:35 PM
May 2019

My understanding is that right after college, he bought some land in rural Vermont and moved there ever after. Except during the height of the Vietnam war protests, when he was traveling around Europe.

I agree that name calling is bad, but inflating and misreprenting his his accomplishments isn't going to do him any favors either.

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