21. I don't appreciate the implication that I am lying

I've been on this board since 2003 and I have always been upfront about what I feel and why. I can, if it would help ease your mind, provide documentation from my journal here about where I have stood, when and why. In 2008 I was a Hillary supporter. In 2016 I wanted Warren to run but she didn't and I supported Bernie in the primaries and of course Hillary in the General.

I stayed undecided initially on this forum, and then expressed a leaning for Warren. I have always said that there were four candidates who I was drawn toward. Sanders, Warren, Harris and Brown. My reasons for this (soft) shift are expressed above. Are you accusing me of being deceptive?

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