30. I know I'm beating my head against the wall here....

Feb 2020

I’m a Sanders supporter. I was a Sanders supporter in 2016. I voted for HRC in the general election.

I’m truly a nice person, I promise. The Sanders supporters I know are nice people. I think most people who support any of our candidates are probably nice people. I would love it if we could all just agree on that and move on.

There are supporters of one particular candidate — really, in the main, just one — who tend to bite my head off when they learn who I support. I don’t want to say which candidate I’m referring to because I don’t think it’s fair to do so. It would be engaging in an unfortunate bit of stereotyping. It would also be counterproductive. I am certain most supporters of that candidate are fine people who only want us to beat trump.

There are unfortunate antagonisms coming from many corners. I wish we could all just stop.

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