84. Don't allow Bernie? Do allow Bloomberg?
Wed Mar 11, 2020, 06:00 PM
Mar 2020

94% of the "throw them against a wall" victims were POC. This policy was changed only by a federal court ruling the policy Unconstitutional. Bloomberg wasn't a Democrat when the Cavanaugh "confirmation" happened. I believe Thomas Jefferson's political party should aspire to loftier ideals.

I am 100% behind restoring the soul of the Nation. I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Bernie will not split the Party by running outside the Party like Perot and Nader. I think he has helped the Democratic Party and continues to do so. And I'm not the only one. I like many of his policies, his political philosophy in general, and I must not be the only one because he has around 700 delegates at this point.

And you know, he tried to recruit Warren to run in 2016, she wouldn't so he did. He's not the opponent trump is.

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