Did you know that some wanderers are toxic and subject to root rot themselves?

The 2016 Democratic Platform was a product of 14 committee members, 5 selected by the DNC, 5 selected by HRC, and 4 selected by BS. Framing a collaborative effort as somehow being the product of 4 people might give some the wrong idea, especially since one of the BS platform committee representatives wound up endorsing Jill Stein before the platform was even finalized.

West was on the Democratic National Convention platform committee, but abstained from the final voting citing the party's "moral failures."

Toxic wanderer indeed.

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