She’s a tad older but a good democrat. she was crying saying.. all our leaders are leaving us and the ....I said, I know. We both left the conversation as usual..we gotta vote n pray. We both vote. She prays but I keep saying.. crying won’t help ya n praying won’t do ya any good. Somehow, I don’t wanna believe that.

2. I certainly can sympathize, but we also have some incredible icons who are still with us

And I'm thinking of our former presidents, specifically Clinton and Obama - not to mention the one I still love best, Jimmy Carter. And, of course, more than one candidate who deserved the office, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore. That's what I try to remember - not to mention that after four years of pure hell, we currently have the most experienced POTUS in our history, former Senator and VP, Joe Biden. And, coming up through the ranks, we have Katie Porter - who I'm listening to right now...
