I think this every four years at convention time, too. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is visually stark. WE represent the PEOPLE of America, not old white men and corporations. We are like life itself, a network of diversity that thrives on that very diversity. We are so beautiful.

So like the beautiful democratic candidates that are stepping forward to get our democracy back on track, focusing on the urgent realities, of climate change, human rights, equality, health care, education, criminal justice reform, etc.. They are such a diverse, intelligent, and talented group, who want to serve and are the absolute true face of the USA. I love all of them.

It is too early for me to pick a particular candidate, that said I am impressed and very hopeful.

We have Kamala, Beto, Mayor Pete, Amy, Elizabeth, Cory, Julian and other strong, able Democrats. I haven't made up my mind who I'll support in the primary, but I would gladly and proudly vote for any of them in the general.

I've only eliminated 2 for the primary, but neither of them will win the nomination anyway.
