1. The World Has Changed & Biden Will Need to Change With It, If He Chooses to Run
Tue Apr 2, 2019, 11:26 PM
Apr 2019

Cultural norms have evolved and anyone in today’s political arena will need to evolve with it. Otherwise, they will be left behind by voters who will look elsewhere for leadership. Women have decided to speak up and speak out about unwelcome physical touch and contact, no matter the intentions of the person doing the touching. Respecting another’s personal space is important. One professional who worked with my son (who is on the autism spectrum) taught my son to respect a three feet circle of personal space around other people. It has worked very well for him.

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