Come on Aaron. I don't place him on a pedestal. I don't think "following" someone means you consider him or her flawless. It means you consider them an ally in the fight for a better world. Align — not follow — if you must. But the time is short. There is a fog that grows thicker and thicker by the day.

Here is a compilation of historians' assessments of Obama's legacy. I'll take it every day over the swath of legacy that Trump spews every day.
Who do you align yourself with?
(Maybe I should stick to poetry too. I'd rather. Except my conscience pulls me here)
