Despite the century that has elapsed our constitution still does not recognize or guarantee full protection of the law for women and gender minorities.

The first thing that surprised he was Kamala Harriss exit. I felt like she had one of the clearer pathways to the nomination and i was surprised about her early exit. The other thing that may not be the surprising is remarkable stability of joe biden and Bernie Sanders throughout this process. Biden has remained consistent in National Polling. Different in iowa and New Hampshire. Bernie has been relatively consistent. Then you have to look at mayor viablemerging as a very candidate coming out of basically nowhere. The mayor of south bend and now he is leading the polls in iowa and New Hampshire. He has a real good chance to win both of those states. Those are some things that surprised me the most.
