Isn't it great that we are debating about the future (sarcasm) [View all]

like everybody but Joe is supposedly talking about? The future is all I’ve heard from most of the candidates prior to the debate. Now we are arguing about issues long settled. I hope we can elevate the discourse in the coming debates and not relitigate the 70s. We are giving the Trump campaign way too much ammo. Id rather be talking about Obama’s third term than whether we thought busing was a good idea. Do we have any message besides eating our own.

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