Hi everyone. [View all]

I'm here because of my DU pal JustAnotherGen.

I'm a democratic socialist and undecided. I was seriously considering Bernie but now I'm not sure he'll make it to the primary in my State (New Mexico). Still undecided and still considering Hillary as well. My eyes & ears are open and I'll seriously check out O'Malley too. I look forward to learning more about him here.

I recognize that we can't have all the things we want all from a President, especially if Congress has so many lousy republicans in it. I'm pragmatic and also optimistic about the great people I meet in the struggle of advancing the quality of life for everyone in this huge and often strange and hilarious country, and the world.

I don't think I've even seen an O'Malley speech or interview yet. I do recall him singing (I think it was The Pogues or some Irish music) and I thought that was awesome.
