The Democratic Primaries are making me angry
April 22, 2008
After tonight’s results in the Pennsylvania primary I’ve had to come to grips with something about the primary process: it’s making me pretty angry. I’m angry with Clinton for not accepting that she has virtually no chance of winning the nomination. I’m angry with Obama for not sealing the deal. I’m angry with Democrats who are racist, conservative, bastards who refuse to vote for a Black man, and I’m angry with myself for getting so angry.
The truth is that this is our best chance to legitimately win a presidential election in a generation. It’s been that long since a Democrat gathered more than 50% of the vote. I guess what makes me angriest of all is that we seem to be fucking that chance up pretty good.

Why would either quit??? They are politicians first and foremost. A case can be made for each of them to be the nominee. Do you think they care about you and I ??? I cannot understand how people get so swayed and swoon at these guys. they are all the same.
How mny Presidents does it take in any country for anyone to recognize that??

Oh, I totally understand why neither is going to quit, that’s the part about me being angry at myself for getting upset about it. I don’t expect either to drop out or for a unified ticket to emerge or any of that. I don’t particularly think one is better than the other either, if the situation were reversed I’d be just as angry. And as I pointed out, I’m just as angry at Obama for not being able to seal the deal with a win in a big state like Texas, Ohio or Pennsylvania as I am with Clinton for not accepting that she can’t win.
