After seeing outright homophobia on Pete's twitter, from people I carefully assessed to very likely not be bots, I've finally made a decision to go with Pete. I have though him to be a class act from the beginning and my favorite on the issues and, as a gay man at 50, I'm inspired that a gay person has gone this far. No, I don't just like him for that reason, as his issues often gel with my own, but the homophobia against him has helped to cinch my decision to finally take a stand for a candidate.



I unfriended a longtime friend today who is a Mexican-American drag queen who is so fervently socialist that he will only support Warren or Bernie and will sit home for anyone else. Does any rational person really believe that there is a single candidate on the Democratic roster won't be better on immigration and gay rights than Trump? Seriously??? That's why I'm blue no matter who, even if it's Bernie Sanderswho is the one candidate on the Democratic roster that I dislike intensely. I think Pete could really unite people and take this country to a better place. If it's not him, either Biden or Warren will probably be my second choice and Bernie will remain my last, but I'll still vote for him if he's the nominee. Voters know that sitting home if their candidate doesn't win helps Trump to win and so that clearly means they're ok with Trump and think he's not that bad. Or, like Sanders' #1 fan Susan Sarandon, they think that the other Dems are worse than Trump. I really hope Susan and the Bros no longer think that but I really, really hope I don't have to choose between Bernie or Trump. I'd be happy with any of the other candidates, honestly, but Pete is definitely my candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
