Feb 2020

he will walk the walk on climate change...he's already 9/10th of the marathon there compared to the other candidates

he has walk the walk on choice

he has walked the walk on taxing the wealthy

and no one can say he is beholden to special interests...(and it bothers some that he isn't beholden to the special interests of their choice)

I think he will evolve on marijuana...but its not a top 10 issue for me.

BTW, there is a clip going around with Bloomberg saying taxing the poor is good because it has more influence on them...backstory, its the taxing of sugar beverage being discussed and he wants to influence behavior leading to obesity and diabetes. not overly fond of it...but it has a good goal at the heart of it

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