Bloomberg just dropped out.
Thank god.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woohoo, Zen!
The thing with Warren was completely predictable, and it played out pretty much exactly like I thought it would, and I'm giving myself a day to just think, "Oh, fuck all of you."
I would love to see her as VP (except for the thing where she's done all of this work that will be co-opted by a man). I doubt Biden will go there.

Congratulations, Zen!
Bloomberg just dropped out.
Good. I'm hoping that Warren will pull enough votes in CA to have some bargaining power at the convention.
ETA: I just looked at the results for my super-blue county, and it went for Biden (42%), then Bernie (24%), then Bloomberg (13%) and then Warren (10%). I'm disappointed in us (where us = people near me geographically). Bloomberg over Warren? WtF, people? You vote for socialists locally, but a wonky woman with a 2% wealth tax for over $50 million is a bridge too far?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Serious question, WTF American Samoa?
At this point I'm mostly hoping Biden will pick Stacy Abrams as his VP candidate and then she can quietly run things while he's off BEING FUCKING 90 YEARS OLD.

Yay Zen! Boo 6 a.m.!
I'm disappointed by the turnout for Warren, but I keep reminding myself that it's not as if I object to either Sanders or Biden as the candidate, I like both of them (just not as much as Warren). As long as American Samoa doesn't suddenly get granted a thousand super delegates everything should be fine.

Smiling Joe's not my first choice (or second), but he's miles better than the current occupier of the White House. If he gets the nomination he'll get my vote.

Congratulations, Zen! That's wonderful news.
I'm supremely pessimistic about the election, and tired of women being held to a higher standard than men. Let's not even talk about WoC, who have gotten shafted this entire election cycle. And I'm tired of Bernie supporters--throwing tantrums like toddlers because they're convinced the fix is in. Newsflash: Bernie is not even a goddamned Democrat. He only uses the party apparatus for his benefit. How is anyone supposed to feel good about someone who constantly attacks the party under whose umbrella he is running?
It's all terrible, and I don't know if it can be fixed anymore.
