A Blog Article a Day is Hard
It's true. When you're a guy like me: consumed with your own importance in other people's lives and use your obligations to others as a means of distraction. When you use worry as an anti-anxiety medication. When you obsess about the details of work not yet started. When you do those things, the discipline and focus to show up at the page every day to address you, dear invisible reader, is scant available.
I've been away so long I forgot the bloody name of this thing. The title is my lodestar: Talking Baseball. Fitting that I should be inspired to write my blog the day Joe Biden throws his clacking dentures into the ring. His speech slurred form plastic surgery and a looming and inevitable stroke, he tossed his fedora into the ring.
I'm not sure which candidate I favor. We elected a black man a few years back and the backlash sent us into hack tv personalities. Do I dare hope that Kamala Harris wins the nomination? Bernie Sanders has never uttered a policy message I didn't agree with. He's literally a socialist. In my mind, that's an argument for having him as a leader of the country. Could he beat the specter of Reagan and Horatio Alger? As a child, I was traumatized by Ronald Reagan. The man ruined our country and is considered a hero. When you hate someone and disagree with them on nearly everything and they are proven above the law, that's traumatic. When you live through that you lose faith in your fellow citizens. You don't believe, dearest invisible reader, that your kinfolks would EVER elect an African American candidate named Barack Obama. The cool thing about being traumatized by Newt Gingrich and Ed Meese is that you are capable of surprise.
What was my point?
Oh, right, the Democratic nominee. I like Kamala Harris the most right now. Not JUST because she wants to raise teachers' salaries. If I were going on self-interest, I'd go with Elizabeth Warren because she would make me more money in the long run with student loan debt forgiveness. If she engineered forgiveness of $50,000 of student loan debt my debt would be cut by a little roughly 30%. That could really help once the debtor's prison makes a comeback.
The cool thing about the wide field of Democrats is that we have a chance to pick a winner. Baggage Beto is a strong communicator. Bernie is angry. Biden could probably talk shit to Trump and not look like a punk. Cory Booker is also an excellent communicator. Elizabeth Warren has an annoying voice. Amy Klobuchar and Kiersten Gillibrand are both extremely cool. Julian Castro lacks a certain dynamism. Mayor Pete is a legit Christian which is always off-putting. Booker talks like a Christian, not good for me.
Kamala Harris seems like a badass. She stands in there with gravitas. She's SUPER smart and a great communicator. She's from Oakland. God, I would love it if Kamala Harris was our next president. I guess that's the thing, you pick your "guy" and you go with and for "him" or you're fucked. That conviction. The conviction the Bernie people have that he'd have cleaned Trump's clock, I don't have that. I don't know how Ms. Harris would do against sack-of-shit.
Anyways.
Good to be back.
A dear friend pointed out that it's got to be Biden. Young people are supposed to sit out elections. This is the way of things. Apathy is supposed to reign. I agree with him. Fuck young people and people worried about Biden's stroke. This is the last time I get to have a president who isn't a cocksucker and is older than me. Biden 2020!
