There’s no way, no how that I can find last night being a disaster for the Democratic Party.

I saw Bloomberg as a stand-in for tRump. He did a good thing last night by taking it and remaining standing/unshaken. The tension between the anger of the have nots and the has a lots was embodied on that stage.

I’d like to think the varying campaigns will stop with the negative attacks with gotcha tactics of low fiber. I don’t want to see another doctored, out of context clip lobbed at a fellow Democratic candidate on twitter. Is time wasting junk that sours my views of the breathless promoters.

Turn that angst towards tRump. Have a more nuanced carrot and stick conversation on where the good billionaires and millionaires fit in a wider society that wants to do more than live in some arcane, dog eat dog existence. It’s 2020, y’all, and modernity is rapidly unfolding with ever more answers to big problems.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
