21. No hate, just fatigue

Tue Feb 18, 2020, 05:52 PM

Feb 2020

Long before this primary season I became sick and tired of hearing the same old stump speech that Bernie has been giving since 2014. It didn't work then and it isn't working now, at least for me.

I am for Joe, but if he fails I could easily switch to Amy or Elizabeth or Pete or even Mike. Sure, I'd vote for Bernie, but it would be with absolutely no enthusiasm.

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