All in on anyone else for President. Kinda think a Bernie or a Warren would be good. Because nobody radical can get anything passed without the Senate also flipping. So really, it would all be symbolic, but a Democrat would appoint more liberal judges and at least allow RBG to finally retire.

If I didn’t already say it…I’m now all in for Bernie. He’s genuine. He doesn’t care what people think of him. He’s not Establishment. He gets people to cross the party lines. And we need to fight fire with fire. And I’m sorry, but that ain’t Liz Warren or Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden is just not going to get it done. Blue wave has to happen. Iowa Caucus tonight.
2/4
#SOTU is on. Not watching.
Iowa Caucus is a joke. Results not fully in.
2/5
Trump stays. No one is shocked. Pelosi ripped up his written speech. Same people mad.
2/6
Posted this reply to an AOC tweet about “bootstrapping”--the idea that and one, regardless of disadvantages in life can simply pull themselves up…a philosophy that ignores reality and makes it seem like rich people are the only ones with value and if you’re poor, it’s your own fault.
“So many people on this tweet defending rich folks or just flat out trolling. There are 5 ways to become rich and 4 of them ate unavailable to most of us…Most people are born with it. The rest of us are sold a myth.”
It’s gotten 5,476 impressions and 182 interactions so far. I muted the conversation. People are attacking from all angles.
I regret that I didn’t spell out the 5 reasons or hedge a little bit on those 5 reasons (sports, entertainment, lottery, business, born with it.)
But essentially, I am right, that people with little hope of joining the upper crust are knocking themselves out to knock me down. And I’m not even complaining about my life….
2/7
My AOC tweet is viral and I have tuned out.
2/9
“The World is Essentially Going to Hell.”---the title of a less successful Bond movie.
2/12
Bernie Sanders up in Iowa and NH. Might cruise…
2/17
I suppose if I communicate anything to my future self about this time period it is that people had a voice and expressed their opinions, often without thought, information or consideration. I have watched this one person I follow on Twitter. This person posts a tweet saying that this person is going to switch to a Republican on February 30th or 31 st.
So yeah, ha-ha, we know you’re kidding…. except, so many people just react. Make accusations. Make assumptions. Unfollow. Make threats. Miss the point. Miss the joke.
But then this person keeps going with it. Keeps engaging. Retweeting. Fighting with people all. Day. Long.
It just depresses me that people spend their lives online doing this. I don’t think I want to be one of them. I don’t think I am but Jesus.
Then I’m sad that people don’t read books. Just in general, it makes me sad...

My Tweet.
“Can I say that both sides suck but one sucks while doing things I kinda agree with (Dem) and the other sucks while doing things I disagree with (GOP). I don’t have a ‘team.’ I am not in full agreement with any living being, but man, some people are really silly.” 11 likes….

#DemDebate is on and Bloomberg is open season. Rich, entitled, above it all, not doing the work and just being an entitled jerkoff.
2/22
Sanders has won Nevada. I want to believe that he has the juice to see this through.
2/25
#DemDebate is on. Biden on fire. Bernie holding his own. Warren doing her one trick. Yeah, I’m down here.
2/26
Trump leaving anti-science Pence in charge of Coronavirus. FUCKED.
2/27
Stock Market going down. Trump will soon have to deal with his arrogance, one would think…
2/28
38% believe they can’t drink Corona for fear of the Coronavirus. I’m through asking questions.
2/29
Biden won SC primary. My feeling is swinging back to him now. I haven’t been firm on anyone, but at this point I just get nervous thinking about Sanders fucking it up for everyone. Just want to win….
