That being said, I live in the real world, but I know free college, 15.00 min wage and student loan forgiveness is not in the cards and are not going to happen right now. Even if we gain all three branches of government it will be up against opposition and defeated.

Im not saying it won't ever happen one day. What I'm saying is that over time and a lot of really hard work and perseverance it can be accomplished. The idea is out there now and on peoples minds. The seed has been planted.

Right now the the main goal is to get rid of trump and right now we have to have someone who has the most experience to turn ship around and get it going in the right direction. The only candidate that can do that is Joe.

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