40. It's an extremely hard issue, no doubt

The thing is no one is asking for perfection from Biden, or any of the other candidates, because it's not possible to be "perfect". What people are asking for is some sign that the candidates are really listening, taking in the concerns, and willing to work towards doing more.

I truly hope those sowing dissension here in our ranks take a step back and look inward at why they are responding the way they are.

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