He's this generation's Kennedy or Obama. He represents their values.

The hate spewed by the white Pukes resonates not at all with them. Pete's generation is racially colorful, sexually fluid and happy with each other, unlike the party currently represented by a ridiculous, bloated, ancient piece of shit with a stupid toupee.

How far will Pete go this time? Who knows? But he's got a future. And it's a future I want to be part of.

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