ETA.. well, I don't think it's about skin color or gender.. never have.

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

I can not convince myself that Kamala Harris being a woman of color will not move ahead in this wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #3

It should be about policy not skin color and gender. Joe941 Sep 2019 #9

It is about all those things. Voters decide what it is about. wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #13

That 26% who do not want to disclose their choice, those are for Kamala Harris Perseus Sep 2019 #21
