The blue no matter who people who were so obnoxious in 2016 are at it again, and I know this post will fall of deaf ears because it’s not as if we haven’t already told them they are being obnoxious, they just don’t see themselves that way.
But, here’s the deal. There’s a candidate in the race now that I actually like, and am enthusiastic about, and he has earned my support. That, of course, is Bernie Sanders. I also like Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Gravel but neither one has a realistic chance of winning. I probably could be persuaded to like Jay Inslee, because I agree that saving the planet should be the number one issue, but he also has no realistic chance of getting the nomination.
If the Democrats (as they seem hell bent on doing) nominate Joe Biden, who hates raves and marijuana, there will not be a candidate in the race who I like. If they nominate Kamala Harris, who loves private prison and thinks cops should be able to beat the fuck out of anybody they like, and isn’t particularly bothered about priests raping little boys, either, there will not be a candidate in the race who I like. If they nominate Liz ‘see I can drink beer like a normal person’ Warren, who will not stand up to the oil companies who are destroying our planet, there will not be a candidate in the race who I like. If they nominate Pete Buttigieg, who was not even a good mayor of South Bend, Indiana, there will not be a candidate in the race who I like. (Yes, Bernie started his political career as mayor of Burlington, Vermont. The difference is he was kind of spectacular as a mayor. Turned a dying industrial town into a wonderful place to live.) If they nominate Beto O’Rourke, there will not be a candidate in the race who I like, no matter how many burgers he eats.
I think that about covers it. And if I don’t like a candidate, I’m not voting for him or her. That is done. That argument is over.
Bernie or Bust, Again
