But I think the country would be much different if Joe Biden had announced that was stepping down, and allowed other candidates to step forward. I believe someone other than Kamala Harris would have won the nomination, and beaten Trump in the election.

Don't get me wrong - I agree with Harris on most issues and I believe she would have been a good president (rightwing resistance notwithstanding). But she was not a good campaigner, and not a good candidate.

I agree wholeheartedly about Citizens United. That decision basically announced that money could buy the White House (and more), and we've lived with the consequences ever since.

As for Clinton - yeah. Remember the adage "Nobody can hurt you as much as a friend". Such soaring rhetoric, just to sell us down the river... -
