In the times of 🍊, to hear a D candidate describing the good ol' times (which he wants back) with such examples - after he already said he intends to work with Rs a lot - makes some of us queasy. He called Cheney a decent man, Pence too - I am wondering what we have in common. This OP is a straw man

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