Carville wants an open convention, and he threatened the Megadonors. They want to pass over Harris for the candidate of their choice. No virtual vote. I think we'll lose Ohio due to putzing around.

I want Harris/Buttigieg. I trust so few people now. The optics are there for me. I feel that they will stick with American values, and be acceptable on the foreign stage. That's about all I can do. Vote for whatever damned ticket Carville and the Megadonors will allow.

The line between Democrats and Republicans is beginning to be fuzzy for me. If Megadonors get to pick the candidates, what is the damned difference? Something's wrong here.
