Biden won’t be around for more than 1 term, but he’s the lesser of 2 evils for the future of our country. The race right now is between him & Trump, & thinking anyone else has a chance at this late date means your in La-la land. Go and vote! This country won’t change overnight, but change is a coming!

I feel like many of the folks here rioting are just looking for an excuse to do something “for a cause” and they are using George Floyd as an excuse. It’s a damn shame and I would be irate if I was George Floyd’s family. His death wasn’t devastating enough, now the country is destroying itself and using the man’s name as an excuse to do so. It’s mind blowing how ignorant these riots are. The only way to make a change is to have conversation, listen, then go out and vote!! Destroying our communities is not the way 🇺🇸
