This is where I remind everyone that Bobby Brown sent his people over to me at the airport and got my number, right.

I just found that business card the other day.

JZ, that's a magnificent rant.

Well said, JZ. I would add, what do people do while the country/system is being destroyed? Destroy-to-rebuild makes a nice theory. But people need to eat every day. The rent or mortgage, as applicable, is due every month.

I really want to believe that, come election day, the number of people who are going to petulantly stay home (or vote for the GOP candidate) because their preferred Democrat didn't get the nomination will be so small as to not matter. Or it will be people in a state like California that always goes overwhelmingly Democrat, so their hissy fit will be diluted and, again, not matter.

But I'ma punch people here in Ohio if they try that nonsense. I plan to vote for Clinton in the primary, and I don't actually think Sanders can win the general election, but I will by god vote for whichever one of them gets the nomination.

Hillary is a t shudder Clinton, but Bernie is a t dear god! Socialist, which everyone knows means godless Communist, so I'm hoping Clinton get the nomination, because we've got a few more decades to go before the kneejerk mainstream will understand what a socialist really is.

It's a rant that has been building up for a while. I started it on FB, but then thought, "Do I really want to hit that 'Post' button? There's a small, sad voice deep inside of me saying that no good can possibly come of this." And so I brought it home.

That's why I don't think he can win. I like him a lot, and I'd be happy with him as POTUS, but I think Clinton is a lot more likely to win the general.

Yeah, the weird political stuff on FB isn't coming from where I thought it would (family members who are practically caricatures of wingnuts); it's coming from my brother and his new rush of posting Ayn Rand shit and some other liberal friends who are busting out the tirade of "BERNIE OR NOTHING!" or "CLINTON OR NOTHING" and accusing supporters of their non-preferred Democrat to be poseurs and/or misogynists and whatnot.

People! You must chill! I have taken your keys!

Hopefully whatever abomination comes up with the Republican nomination will convince the more reasonable of the "my way or the highway" people that the lesser of two evils is a necessity in realpolitik.

The one that worries me on my Facebook is the one who's all excited about Bloomberg. If Bloomberg runs, the Republican will definitely win, and it's not going to be John Kasich.
