Who is actually 'open-minded'?

Sticks48 comments on May 20, 2019:

I doubt anyone is completely open minded. I have never met anyone completely open minded and doubt they exist. Some folks are just more open minded than others, and some not at all.

Some pieces ive done in the last ten years.

My election concern.

Sticks48 comments on May 19, 2019:

I really like Harris and Warren, but Biden has a better chance of getting moderate Republicans to vote for him than the others. I looked it up and the largest block of Democrats is over 50, that bodes well for Biden. He is the only one who consistently trounces Trump in the polls. Bernie can't get the black vote. That killed him against Clinton. If the Dems get all pissy with their infighting and blow this, I will join the ranks of the independents. I will vote for the Democrat who gets the nomination, period.

I don't care how he feels about pot. If he gets the nomination, he gets my vote. If he has the best chance of beating Trump he gets my vote. Pot will be legal no matter what he believes. Right now he kicks the shit out of Trump in every poll I have seen. Bernie is slipping and everyone else is a tossup with Trump. Tossup ain't gonna get it. I saw the other day, the largest voting block among the Dems is over 50. They are more conservative than the younger Dems and is one of the reasons Biden's poll numbers are high. It is early and things could change. I will vote for whomever gets the nomination.
