America is in uncharted waters and what we do now will affect our future

We have a Administration run amuck, We have a virus that America is ranked third in the world consuming us, we have a stock market going into the bowls of hell & the list goes on.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. The problem is though with primaries being canceled until a later date, A lone holdout who has absolutely no chance at all of becoming our nominee. Our primary has been put on hold, the Democratic party has been put on hold.

With denying Joe Biden our presumptive nominee status is denying the Democratic party the full force of a general election status to go pounce on Trump.

Yes we still have primaries to hold but most of them have been moved to later in the year which denies us the opportunity of more time in a General election against Trump.

Some food for thought for the hold outs is this, the outcome later in the year will be the same as it is right now and all you are doing is hurting our party and our Country.

Our Country is hurting & falling apart, it's time to step up & do the right thing.

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

the first big break in the stock markets, [from an all time high, a surprising very large sharp drop, 'oblivious 'con prez, bad feel, etc.], has been charted.

we survived, and are in better place to survive most of these things now.

Remember that with the 1918 flu with up tp 100,000,000 dead worldwide we were also in the midst of WW1 and had several other epidemics and a recession going on.

This is worse?

Sars? Ebola? The Bush economy?

We've learned a lot over the years, and we have survived a lot over the years.

Don't give up.
