Soooo... It's that time again. Just like every Pre-Pre-Primary Season...

The only candidate I could wholly support for having legislation/stances/dietary habits that are exactly aligned with my own would be myself. Seeing as middle class people are frowned upon as being actual candidates and I'm exhausted, I have to do the next-best thing:

Support the candidate who most closely reflects my ideals/stances/dietary habits. This means that sometimes that candidate may be responsible for something I don't support: an incorrect vote or a minor slip-up with a newborn kitten and a frying pan. It sucks, but odds are, if it's posted 623 times on various news sites/discussion boards, I already know about it and have come to terms with it on my own.

So, carry on and have a great night DU.

I am old and suffered much during the last great Primary Wars. I don't know what will occur this go round. Maybe one day we'll rise above this.....He said what about her pantsuit? Oh hell no, it's on.

See you on the other side.

There seemed to be such equal support among the top 5 candidates...and much ridiculousness was posted by all.

I'll see you there.

are saying here).

They are under the delusion that they have much to say about what is going on, they dont.

That they have choices, they sort of dont.

Here is your choice, a prez/house/senate who hate brown people, gay people, etc but are owned by wall street

or a Prz/house/senate that doesnt hate those people but still pretty much owned by wall street, and this includes Bernie to the point that without a willing house and senate he cant do all that much

For me, I RACE to the polls to vote AGAINST the lunatics

will be our clone! I won't say it is breathtakingly stupid...but I won't say it is not breathtakingly stupid either...

I expect freepers to behave that way...sad to see DUers do it day in and day out.

When we can't see that behavior in ourselves, I worry.
