more votes than Donald J Trump. I do. And it makes me feel slightly less bad about the nature of our fellow citizens (keyword: slightly).

But a moral victory WILL NOT CUT IT in 2020. We need to win. Which means looking at the EC maps and voting strategically from a position of cool-headed reason.

We must beat Trump in the electoral college. This is do or die.

And it is not going to be a cakewalk.

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