Hello Aaron!

 I never said that. I actually prefer Harris to Biden.  Sure there are others I would have preferred over both,  but they haven't expressed an interest in running this election.

 I am doing no such thing.  They are two entirely different kinds of public service,  but they are BOTH service to the public. I'd appreciate if laws were put in place to make the latter a bit more public-serving vs the self-serving it has become.
