For those who are currently in an elected position: their past/current/new future voting habits on issues will be insightful.

For those who are not: I am hopeful there is a past and current fact-based source for me to be informed.

Likewise I'm doing the same.However, I have a long memory and I will NEVER forget, forgive, nor support any of those women who voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh!

How they voted is definitely one item I will pay close attention too as well!

Go whole hog or go home.

If Bill De Blasio declares, support and vote for him.

I’m lazy this morning and don’t want to do my own research (yet), what do you think makes De Blasio stand out as a possible President?

look into his views on why wealth is in the wrong hands ( quite sophisticated argument), health care for undocumented, low wage workers, paid vacations for private sector workers, plus he's tall, nice looking, has a non White wife, and is likely clever enough to find ways to cover up any fuck-ups during his tenure as NYC mayor.

Thanks!

before anyone jumps on me for the "non White wife" reference, take a shot at why i might have included that.

Not sure why any gay/queer person would want to vote for Tulsi Gabbard ( never mind all her other stuff )

I kind of get it...he probably isn’t a racist, he probably is more inclusive?

Isn’t that a little bit like saying “I have a black friend, so I can’t be prejudiced”?

Am I missing your reasoning? I often miss the point, so............

take a shot? this reminds me of covert racism..why does her, in your opinion, color give him an additional advantage? because he can use her ethnicity as an added incentive to people of color to vote for him? Why see color at all? She's a great asset because she is a wonderful support to her husband and helps him in his work. Her color has nothing to do with it.

As a life-long New Yorker I think it's a big mistake to promote yet another New Yorker! Americans have had enough of us, I think. My personal experience is that deBlasio is a prickly, not particularly effective control freak. He also let himself get into a dick swinging contest with our Governor, and nothing about that was/is pretty. If we're thinking strategically, the Mayor's wife, Chirlaine McCray, would be a mixed bag. She's genuine and a pleasure to be around, but her history may be waaay too hard for the average American to support. She was an out lesbian before she met her husband. I think that's fantastic, but I have a low opinion of the average American voter.

Thank you for your post. The last thing I want to see is more men with that "pissing contest" ego in office!
