42. I'd worry that doing so could be an automatic death sentence

Dec 2019

for the Democratic President who has a GOP VP. Just look at the wackos who love trump, and the same bunch that likely loves guns too and an overblown sense that aggrieved entitlement. What’s to stop some nutcase from deciding that he (probably male and almost certainly white) could easily have another GOPer in the Oval Office again?

Nope! There’s reaching across the aisle, and there’s wearing a big sandwich board that says “I’m an idiot. Kick me!”

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