88. He's not my first pick, but this particular issue doesn't really bother me.

Compare the impact of the claim the organization Sanders was part of, about the hostages, versus the opposition of bodily autonomy for half our nation's population.

People still fighting the cold war are less of a concern to me than people still trying to micro-manage women with the power of our own government today. (Thankfully, Biden abandoned that position.)

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