that knows exactly what will happen. 1972 was my first Presidential election and I can understand the idealism and enthusiasm these younger Sanders supporters have. Many of us felt the same way back then. I agree that unless something changes, we are headed into a dark time in America. We will be OK too, but I don't think I can stay here and watch the consequences of another trump term play out. Panama and Belize look better than ever.

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