Trump/Pence would threaten stamp allotments more than Biden/Harris.

Edit: My voting habits have remained pretty consistent as my fortunes have changed over time. That stuff is kinda hurtful. I’m cool if you disagree with my political views, but they aren’t simply self-serving and naive.

You don’t know that to be true.

We’ve been here before. I’m not out to change your mind. I’m just happy to end a sausage fest.

You run a VC funded startup that might make some millionaires live longer. I am on food stamps because I decided I wanted to be an artist when I was 17. I understand poor people better
