people!!!
I hate DU GD P jury duty.
I will never, ever, ever understand this sort of political blood sport or religion.
I've never ever had a most favorite sports team or religion. When I was a kid Don Drysdale signed my program and shook my little hand, but I didn't get the significance of that until many years later.
It was Free Ticket Weird Kid Day at Dodgers Stadium!!!
Living in the sewers of my brain chemistry, autistic depression, functional only by wretched meds with many yucky side effects such as anorgasmia, this deeply pessimistic person I am, I only recognize the teams that suck demon dick.
Team Reagan-Bush-Bush sucked big cholla cactus demon dick. I personally witnessed President Ronald Reagan as a confused old man who didn't know where he was or what the hell he was doing there, but he did manage to read a few words for the television news machine, so everything in the U.S.A. was okay.
Sanders vs. Clinton are merely the not so bad, compared to my personal ideals.
If I'm ever, by some horrible accident, Emperor of this Earth, many people will not be happy, including those Clinton vs. Sanders warriors.
Obama is a most competent President of this U.S.A.. By my measures, he's Lincoln or FDR great. I'm happy to be on that team.
But you gotta remember this U.S.A is a deeply flawed nation, and always has been.
What we are here, and what we pretend or hope to be, are two very different things.
I'll vote President for the person who can do the job, messy as it is. It won't be any kind of Republican or Libertarian, or anyone other than a modern Progressive Liberal Democrat.
Imperfect.
