Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R.

85.71% I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.
