and see the good in other people. Forget one issue voting. The Dotard MUST GO! I don't care how corporate the Dem is. Even if they are completely beholden to Wall Street and the oligarchs and the millionaires and the billionaires, they are NOT THE DOTARD! They won't appoint justices with the sole goal of overruling Roe v. Wade. They won't repeal the ACA. They won't start wars just to benefit the military industrial complex. Anyone who is breathing who is NOT THE DOTARD.
