Democratic Primary

I think universal post-secondary is an awesome idea, but I also have a natural aversion to education, so I'm neutral on the whole thing.

It won't solve the systemic economic problems that face us, but I do believe that if a person genuinely wants to educate themselves, we as a society can benefit greatly from subsidizing it. It just really is all about sorting the wheat from the chaff, and modern post-secondary does not even try to do that, at least not for the majority of students. Elite institutions and schools with major technical fields perform this culling because they have to, but nothing is stopping ten million kids a year from throwing away thousands on a degree that provides no utilitarian benefits whatsoever. And to some degree, I think those kids would be better served by NOT being subsidized, and instead getting into the workforce and returning to the idea of post-secondary once they have a clear idea of what they want to toil at each day.

All that said, Galt is just a big cheap dink.

Maybe I’m an outlier in “my class” but I’m all in for Bernie. Went to his rally and I’ll hit my individual donor max soon. I’d like to go canvas but I had knee surgery a while back so that’s not really possible right now. I know he wouldn’t be able to push all his policies through but we need to push this country leftward and he’s a great catalyst for that. The democrats are just republicans with lefty culture war talking points and have no intention of being left in any form. How many candidates will speak truth about US foreign interventions and is now being proven that Bolivia was a goddamn right wing coup even after he took loads of shit for it? He called Bibi a reactionary racist on national television, amazing.

Now our “just like Bernie” other supposed progressive candidate is taking super pac money because she sucks. You’re a loser bye bye honey.

On a personal note, I appear to live in the heart of Bloomberg country here in Dallas. Signs everywhere, I drove past his bus a couple a weekends ago when he was in town, I’m bombarded with his ads, and I had 3 mailers delivered to my house today alone. I’m afraid to put a Bernie sign in my yard for fear of getting hit with a Bloomberg false-flag attack on my neighbors house and them blaming me.

Super Tuesday please release me

Sanders has a staggering lead in CA and a nice lead in TX right now.

Sanders currently leads in Mass:

Warren has started to decline there.

Sanders lead in Colorado is monstrous relative to the field:

Cautiously optimistic.

If Warren doesn't drop out, she could very well end up being the second most annoying woman to cockblock Bernie out of a nomination.
