AND the Repubs to defeat not just Biden but Democrats across the nation.

The Mueller investigation definitively established their use of Sanders to throw the election to the Republicans, and that's not in doubt.

So age is only weaponized against Biden. Biden is the candidate to be taken out.

F*k them all. We know what they're up to this time.

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