To turn blue. Think it's definitely doable since last trump approval was only 41%. Yet, amazingly, I think the number one bigotry here is against women. So a woman would reduce chances. Would help elsewhere, but probably in blue states we would win anyway.

#1 goal for some of us - rid us of trump. #1 goal for others - nominate the most progressive person. Those two don't go together.

I have two $100 checks ready to go for Joe. CTE (committee to elect) Joe Biden, President.

The way contributions are calculated for debate qualifications, a check from me and another from my wife carries more bang for the buck.

I am thoroughly convinced that only Joe can beat Trump.

to the attacks. I was leaning Biden from the start but the attacks--which have been so obviously hatched for political reasons, an attempt to dissuade Joe Biden from running--was too much to take. It just pissed me off.

Though planning to wait, I decided to jump in earlier than expected. So for someone like myself, the campaign to keep Biden from running? Failed spectacularly.
