and to paint him as a segregationist was able to sink him so badly despite a lifetime of service to fight for civil rights.

We are living in a soundbite world and I thought the Democrats were above it.

We saw the same thing during the last election when Hillary was vilified and destroyed by members of the party. All her lifetime of achievements was out the window. She limped to the finish line but was not able to win the GE because of the work of the same forces.

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