Basically it’s gonna be one hell of an interesting primary and this is leaving out both Tulsi Gabbard and anyone else who throws their hat into the ring to try and be the Democratic candidate for the 2020 Presidential election.
Looking forward to the debates already, it’s gotta be said.
I know I’m incredibly British and therefore have no vote and no real say in anything America does but it’s pretty damn fair to say that every single one of these candidates would be a massive improvement over President Trump (who I’m not tagging in this because if the pro-Trump trolls see this float across their screen I’ll be getting notifications containing abuse and bulshit for about 3 weeks and screw dealing with that, I’m depressed enough as is right now).
