Democracy is at stake in this election. Democrats in the presidency and congress are essential. I like to think of myself as independent, open to candidates regardless of party. The Democratic party is imperfect, but not hijacked by a despot. I will be voting straight DEMOCRAT to preserve democracy.

Biden's address was calming rather than energizing. Kamala Harris is energizing. A reason to be optimistic. Kamala and I are connected through Champaign-Urbana and Diane Gottheil in the Medical Scholars Program, www.smilepolitely.com/splog/presid...).
