The greatest fear of the establishment is political change in America. The new group of progressive Democrats who were sworn in on January 3, 2019 are scaring the hell out of Democrats and Republicans who refuse to accept real change in America. However, with millennials and women dominating the political atmosphere in our nation, change is inevitable.
After the 2016 election I no longer value polls. When elections are “rigged” by a foreign nation, polls are inconsequential. Today’s polls claim that Joe Biden is the front runner for the Democratic nomination in 2020. I do not believe this is accurate. Who responded to these polls? What age group agreed to offer their opinions? Were they mostly men, or women?
Biden has a history of misogyny, and he is too old to become the president who must lead 320+ Americans whose average age is 37.8. Trump has proven that only younger men and women can represent the American people in the 21^st century.
Kamala Harris is the only candidate who is a true progressive. Because I am an Independent, I would be pleased if she moved farther to the left, but as of this day she supports most of my wants and desires. I view the United States as a living organism; it must change and grow  if it is to survive.
For the last two years and nearly five months Trump has moved our nation backwards into its dark past; a past which satisfied his view of a “great America;” controlled by white supremacists and billionaires. A divided nation is experiencing overt racism and bigotry not experienced since the 1950’s.
Senator Harris supports progressive change in America. Our nation must joint the rest of developed nations and recognize the fact that diversity is growing at a rate no one forecasted 20 years ago. In just a few short years pure whites will become the minority. This fact will make America a beautiful and great nation.
Healthcare, free or affordable education, a reduction in our support of military conflict, and a reduction in income inequality are among the important issues facing our nation’s future.
Think carefully before you vote. Select a candidate who is closely aligned with your needs, beliefs, and wishes. Political parties are a danger to democracy.
