being a Progressive really means that even the slightest leaning to the left of center can at least be “progress” in the right direction. I will go with that, as usual. And if we don’t get that then I’ll always vote for the Democrat because I sure as hell don’t want some knuckle dragging MAGAt voting for me!

But I must admit that I would like to see one of President Obama’s legacies be that the Office is still accessible to someone of color in equal measure to white men. If Stacey Abrams ran I would be ecstatic! She doesn’t need to prove anything anymore.
