24. good thing our side is infighting and criticizing each other

Jan 2020

I feel... despair. I don't understand why our candidates and their supporters are making all these attacks on fellow Democrats when one of them IS going to be our nominee.

It was one thing when we knew that America would keep going, for better or worse, regardless of which party was in power. But this is existential. We are going to become a fully owned subsidiary of Russia and the oligarchs, with the full support of Barr and the Justice Department and the GOP, if we don't knock this shit off and Trump wins again.

I don't know whether I'll feel this way tomorrow or if it's just because of the Bernie-Elizabeth thing getting so ugly.
