8. She is a Candidate of Substance and Truth
Fri Feb 7, 2020, 10:27 AM
Feb 2020

She is a candidate of substance and truth. She is being pushed down by others of less stature. This is misogyny. Her platform and ideas are the best compromise between Sanders and Harris and Booker. I want her as president or Vice President to steer the ship towards helping the little guy. The ideas of Sanders and Warren had better be front and center for any Democratic Party candidate.

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