Today as I watched Joe Biden at the polling place in SC...

It hit me like a ton of bricks why Joe is so loved in the AA community. Because the AA community is so pragmatic. They seek solutions not pipe-dreams.. People running around waving their hands and attacking the Democratic Party, does not move their needle..


Throwing so much money at advertising that they block out everyone else. does not move their needle.


Good luck Joe.. Today is the one we have been waiting for


GO GO GO Joe

We were the only ones there.

Of course we were only there a few minutes, but the poll workers were really happy to see us, they looked bored.

2nd district.

I'm sure things are busy in the 6th, there always seem to be long lines.

I know in my heart that Pete isn’t going to be the nominee.

I will be happy to vote for Joe on Election Day.

The AA community sees things through a different lens. You are right Peacetrain, they are pragmatic. That is what we all need right now.

The only two candidates who can win the majority of pledged delegates will be Sanders and Biden. No one else has a path to actually winning the delegates before the convention.

They all should drop out. And let democrats decide between the two.

about Bernie Sanders:

“I’m too old for pie-in-the-sky.”

I heard that comment from him about Bernie during the 2016 and it stuck in my mind with industrial-strength epoxy.

I, too, am too old for pie-in-the-sky, Congressman Hastings.
