27. I Voted For Him,

Dec 2024

never quite believed in the progressive label, because he has a lot of the correct stances on issues. I can handle some of his trips to the right. However, I won't hang around if he continues to make obvious and gratuitous moves that hurt the opposition to Trump. Or that lead me to believe he really doesn't get the Trump danger.
