I'm Voting for Blue, No Matter Who

I will not pick up my toys and go home...I will NOT "sit this one out". I will support *ANY* Democrat who gets the nomination.

Back in the day, there was an ABB acronym..."Anyone but Bush". I used to think "careful what you wish for" but I am now pretty firmly in the "anyone but Trump" crowd.

I will take damn near ANY Democrat over EVERY Republican (I'd vote John McCain over Joe Manchin, but the good Senator has passed, and they're not even from the same state anyway...just full disclosure. Also, were Abe Lincoln alive, I'd vote for him over Joe Liberman, but I digress)

Right now, my feeling toward the primary is the same as my feeling toward shows like "American Idol" or "The Voice" (both of which I don't watch anymore since they aided a Russian coup): Let me know when we're in the top ten

We got plenty of time yet...I just want you to know that regardless of who I refuse to vote for in the primary...I will have their back in the general, and I am sure I am not alone. So gladiators fighting for your candidates...keep up the good fight. There are scores of us who will hit the pavement for the blue...no matter who.

VOTE FOR BLUE NO MATTER WHO

He has a zero percent chance of being our nominee. We are not a suicidal party.

Bickering by and about the Dem candidates is like fighting over the thermostat setting while the house is on fire.

Job #1 is evicting Trump from the White House, because he'll be a thousand times worse in a second term.

Any Dem --- ANY DEM --- would save the world from that catastrophe.
