Hello there. It’s about time to start thinking about 2020. Well, I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of years now, but its time to get serious. I end up spending a lot of time reading about and thinking about candidates and I figured that I’d try to document my process a bit and you get to follow along. Aren’t you lucky?
A bit about myself. I’m an Independent voter who is currently registered Democratic (more about that later perhaps). I am into free-markets and libertarianism but mostly I identify as a progressive. My most important issue is Climate Change seconded by the total removal of money in politics. I also would like us to be non-interventionist and not be involved in any wars.
I voted for Bernie in 2016 and in the general election I voted for Hillary though I have to admit that I considered voting for Gary Johnson and also the Donald because I loathe establishment candidates. I thought Hillary would have made a fine enough president but I kind of was (and am) sick of the elites (Democrats and Republicans).
In 2008 I was a giant supporter of Obama but the president wasn’t anything like the candidate. He eroded our civil liberties, killed endless people with drones, punished whistleblowers and deported a ton of immigrants. So in 2012 I voted for Romney.
I live in Pennsylvania so I’m not sure how many candidates will still be on the ballot when I get to vote but I’m going to pretend that it’s all of them and look at everyone as they come along.
So lets begin!
This is terrific idea…fair, balanced blog, yes? Unbiased? We’ll see. I’ll be reading. Just heard of young Indiana mayor?

It will be biased by me 100%. It’s my journey, everyone is free to comment and influence the direction though.
