To my Clinton supporter friends

[Warren DeMontague]

132. There seems to be a group of people who thrive on DU-related drama.

Creating it, nursing it, reacting to it and perpetually iterating it into new levels. The account names change, the particulars change, over the years, but ...there sure seems to be a common thread if folks are paying attention.



And at the core of it seems to be - has always been- folks who are altogether far too wrapped up in this place, even when they're gathering elsewhere to talk about how much it sucks.

Hey, everyone needs hobbies, I guess.

But no, mistaking whatever fight you had with whatever person who rubs you the wrong way on an internet message board with some grand indication of nationwide political dynamics or whatnot-- is a massive misinterpretation of scales, of relative size, of relevance. It is the very definition of being inside a bubble.

I'm suporting Sanders- as of now- in the primaries because i like (most of) what the guy is saying and i am glad he is pulling the discussion in the directions he is. I am not "anti-Clinton", but I do think so far her campaign has been even more disappointing than I feared it would be. It is, of course, still early. I have operated on the assumtion for a while that she would be the nominee, although i feel she is a whole bunch less "inevitable" than she was a couple months ago. That said, if she's the nominee, great, i will support her in the general. And i will listen to what she has to say in the debates, etc, although like i said right now i am supporting Sen. Sanders.

Anyone who is so wrapped up in DU drama- either real or, even more likely, solely in the heads of them and their pals- that they would let it affect who they vote for in the primary, really needs to get out more.
