Never an apology that says the exact words, in the exact order, the exact volume, the exact number of repetitions, the exact pitch, rate, and fluency THEY want to hear, never a pledge to learn from evolving societal norms that is sufficient.

And THAT refusal to ever show the grace to acknowledge an individual might be sincere in their pledge to actually learn, evolve and change is precisely why this is backfiring now--"bigly" as the orange menace would say (and who stands to benefit the most from this compounding).

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