...the cost of allowing insurgent candidates like Donal Trump to actually get into office is enormous.

The fact that an openly racist pig is in the White House may be due to giving two overly White States inordinate influence in this process back in 2016.

While none of the Republicans were truly worthy men or women, at least their racism was less obvious. I doubt any of them would have selected a worthless woman hating frat boy on the supreme court.

Some of them might have even loved their country more than power and themselves.

I think a wise country profits by having a sane opposition.

We are now lacking a sane opposition and the cost to our future is enormous.

On our side we at least have a powerful African American community to save us from too much insurgent stupidity, but frankly it was a scary near thing.

The loss to our country, if only in purely economic terms, for the last 4 years is surely in the trillions of dollars, but the moral cost is much larger.

We will need the input of citizens of all states to bring our country back from the brink. New Hampshire and Iowa's citizens deserve a voice, but frankly those states are the provinces and don't reflect our nation's diversity.

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