argh tuesday

Paul Campos at LGM&M mirrors my thoughts post-Tuesday.

(3) Elizabeth Warren’s biggest problem was that she’s a woman.
...
(5) I’ve been extremely negative about Biden relative to the other choices in the original Democratic field, but he is of course infinitely preferable to Trump on every single metric, and he would probably do an OK job as a caretaker president, assuming his health, and especially his mind, hold up for four years. BTW people who assume he won’t run for a second term are making a huge and unwarranted assumption. ... At this point, doing everything possible to make sure we have to deal with that problem four years from now is job #1 for every Democrat, democratic socialist, actual rather than fake Never Trumper, and essentially anybody who isn’t a an authoritarian-worshiping ethno-nationalist.

I'm deeply disappointed in the Democratic primary electorate but, ultimately, not surprised, and therefore not wrecked. The country's more conservative (racist, misogynist) than I would prefer. I know that. S'a big part of why I'm here and not there.

For now I'm gonna go cry over the DNC 2016 'Fight Song' video one more time, and then resign myself to this summer/fall's Duel Of The Old White Guys.
