I wrote this on fb today

I’ve been thinking about the changes this time might bring

Maybe we learn that we don’t need so many things

Maybe we learn it’s important to make the things we need close by

Maybe we learn to take care of each other and our earth

Maybe we cook and garden more, and get out to experience nature

I hope we take to heart how important it is to have health care and a functioning government

I voted for Warren last week

So I don’t feel pressed to make a decision but...

I surprise myself by leaning Biden now when I prefer the ideas of the further left.

The reason is simply that I think he will be a better administrator and has a head start on repairing our relationships around the world.

I’m a pragmatist who also wants an important role for Liz and her plans, please...

That's before my time but...

I remember vividly 2004 when John Kerry was boring and long winded with his complicated ideas. I loved that about him and still do, as my choice below indicates

We were devastated in 2004, let’s remember that one too
