I responded to another woman's comment about Warren and the dustup yesterday. We were instantly swarmed by a combination of what appeared to be bros and Magats. Two distinct groups of males but both attack us as women. I was so threatened by this sort of thing last election that I quit using social media during the primary, even here. Not this time. I don't back down.

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