a little question.
It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional candidate. But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts - that out of many, we are truly one.
what is the meaning of "the sum of its parts"? Does parts means the states?
Thank you!
