Getting rid of those two odious Supreme Court judges is a top priority with me.

And there is a 3 conservative justice advantage, so 2 replacements will not fix the problem. 6 conservatives and 3 liberals

that would add up to a 5-4 liberal majority.....

I would consider it to be "God's will" if 2 of those conservatives
accidentally walked in front of a bus.....

13. My biggest reason to vote for President Biden is that he governs like a president.

His first two years yielded the some of the most Progressive achievements in my lifetime. While he didn’t run as a Progressive, he acknowledged the strong voices, like Sanders and Warren, in his policies. He unified a party by making us realize how much we agree with each other than we disagree. We are a party of many voices, but of common values. We believe that government works to solve problems. His cabinet is filled with public servants. There could not be a bigger contrast between 4 years of TFG and the last 4 years under President Biden.

Issue wise I want to push Biden. Universal health care. The Middle East. Wealth taxes. My job as a voter is to voice my ideals.

But when it comes time to vote, I know that President Biden will listen to those that champion what I believe and move our country in ways that I believe in.

14. Choice between Biden or Trump.

Biden because there will be fewer dead people due to incompetence.
Biden because he supports the rights of women.
Biden because he won't let Putin back in the White House.
