I never thought I would see

Marriage equality in all 50 States. I never thought I would see a African American President. I never thought I would see a Female win the Democratic Presidential primary then go on to win the popular Vote. I definitely never thought I would see a openly Gay man run for President.

He's only one of many great candidates and I would be proud to support the eventual nominee (whoever it is), I guess I'm proudest most of the Democratic party for great candidates and breaking ceiling moments.

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

I never thought I would see such a craven House and Senate


All those gains are in jeopardy, and I still can't understand why?

6. Confirmation bias?

Ends justify the means?

In some things Democratic politicians have lied as well until cornered. Still nothing to this scope, and you have to question whether it will ever return to normalcy.
