70. We are the same age

Wed Feb 19, 2020, 11:46 AM

Feb 2020

I just turned 47 last week.

I will remain undecided until I go to the polls and vote in the Primary in June.

I don't fucking care about the White House anymore.

Eyes on the Prize - Senate and House.

If Trump wins - and we maintain the House and grab a dozen Senate Seats - we can get out both MF45 and Pence.

If Sanders wins - it will put the brakes on potentially harmful implementation of policies.

Easy peasy - I'm out of the Primary.

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