My best hope to see a woman president in my lifetime. This is short and sweet. [View all]

I am voting for Elizabeth Warren. She has a very good chance of winning our CT primary. But in the general I am voting for our likely candidate Biden, who might ask Warren to be his vp. If Biden serves only one term, I get what I want.

And yes, I know all the arguments against her. I don't care. I'm sick of gaming all this out in a hundred different scenarios.

Here's hopin'.

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