23. Good golly, y'all should here Biden talk about unions

Apr 2019

Made me tear up, watching Biden talk about the importance of unions before the electrical workers union a few weeks back. I realized then that he had the stuff needed.

Now, that said, I am smitten with other candidates as well. I'm giving to three at the moment. More after I get my tax refund, etc.

Warren is a real deal, knows how it all works... Amazing force to reckon with. As an economics degree holder, who graduated just before the recession, I have been a major fan of hers for years.

Could not believe the crowds Beto could draw in Texas. Inspire the salt of the Earth folks and progressives who feel betrayed by a state government rigged-up to stay red. Saw this with my own eyes, I did. I adore how he can deliver an in-depth, egalitarian message without flinching.

Buttigieg, Inslee, and Harris have caught my attention as well. I am thrilled that there are so many class act, grade A, excellent dem candidates out there shining a beacon of light thru the swampy fog that trump expects us to lie down in and just accept. Well, I'm not doing it.

I'd rather spend my spare nickles on candidates than on that new pair of shoes, or fast food, or whatever other thing that I prolly don't need. If dollars are free speech, then I'd like to be heard right now.

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