I don’t think I have voted for the eventual winner in the Democratic primary since Obama in 2008. But the current primary process is broken, and only exists to rubber-stamp the establishment candidate. And remember that in 2008, Obama was not the establishment candidate, his win was not expected. If anything, the party has made the primary process even more of a game since then.
Having said that, though, if Newsom is the primary winner I will hold my nose and vote for him, because he will still be better than any Republican. (And if Trump is still alive by then, we will know that whoever gets the nomination will be in his pocket, anyway).
I would fix the Democratic Party primary process by doing it all in one month. Four weeks in May or June, 12 to 13 states per week, rotating by region. Fuck all these states who think they are special by having “first in the nation” primaries or caucuses, where the one Podunk town with 13 registered voters gets to be in the news every 4 years. Every state is important.
Oh, and do it on Saturday. Let the media cover it like it’s fucking March Madness.






This is Buffalo, NY. Can the pig play defense? The Bills are out a few CBs this weekend…
