We have someone in the WH who said we'll build a wall spanning thousands of miles

and Mexico will pay for it.

That was his actual plan that he promoted in the last election.

Yet, there are posters claiming that Senator Warren's detailed plans for Medicare for All are "toxic" and a fatal blunder that she should back away from immediately.

So toxic that she is leading Trump by double-digits in recent polls.

Yes, we all know that there is a double-standard when it comes to Republicans and Democrats. Republicans can advocate for absurdities and atrocities and be taken seriously, while Democrats have to earnestly defend their well-thought out plans and respond to a barrage of scaremongering and outright lies about them from the right.

But it sure would be nice if certain Chicken Littles in our camp didn't play into that dynamic.

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