People are voting [View all]

People are voting in three states today, during a Pandemic virus and against the lethal virus in the WH.

Some of our most vulnerable are coming out in droves, our elders. The ones most likely to die during this Pandemic. They are risking their lives for this countries future. The youth vote, just sitting it out as they always do. The elders have always been the revolution and we have accomplished so much over the years. Time the youth actually wakes up from their stupor. Complaining and whining accomplishes nothing. Voting and diligence does.

Go Joe!

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