and will vote. Some won't. A few never actually vote, nor intended to, but like stirring shit. (Very low percentage, but these are likely the ones causing the most trouble for everyone)

I believe there are alot of rational, decent people out there who don't give a rat's ass about what label on them, as long as the guy is also a rational, decent guy. I wish Nixon hadn't soured the phrase "Silent Majority", but the reality ism all the militants online (and that includes all of us, btw), constitutes a fraction of the real voting population.

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