After 2016, I no longer believe in ideological purity. I really hated 2016. I determined that I would support the Democratic nominee and that I would try to be kinder to candidates who didn't represent my viewpoint exactly.

If Bloomberg is the nominee, I will vote for him.

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