I figured you were going to draw that thin line and say "not all" next.

Well the libs will try to change that, Just like the Electoral College,, ICE, to name a few,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, there is no need for them to change it, if the states beat them to it.

Democrats are going into the next big election fragmented, each headed a different direction, AOC ,. Rashida Harbi Tlaib,, Kamala Harris,,
Ed Markey, Cory Booker,, Kirsten Gillibrand,, Elizabeth Warren,, Beto O'Rourke,, Iihan Omar,, I don't need to say anything else.
I like Pete Buttigieg. Rhodes scholar. Openly gay. Did a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Speaks 7 languages. Concert pianist. Young. Rescues dogs. Has political experience. Can speak coherently. In other words, he's everything Trump is not.

But, I am tempering my participation in the early stages of this process, because (a) my opinion won't matter and (b) I don't have the capacity to.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I still can't bring myself to care much about any of them at this stage. I'll probably care more towards the end of 2019/start of 2020.

I agree with Wisconsin Beth. At this point in time it's just a lot of noise from the announced Democrats. In the end though I will be among the 'Anyone But trump' voters.

A slew of hopefuls vs the evil queen. Any of those hopefuls has to be better than the evil queen. Careful what you wish for, you might get the Democrat/Trump II

You can say that, but wouldn't you prefer voting for a candidates platform vs dislike of another ? Or am I just supplying you with a posting vehicle to slam the opposition, with little forethought ?

There is little to none I like in trump's platform if one can call what trump stands for a platform. I have loathed the guy since the '70s. All a democratic candidate has to offer is "I will act presidential" and that's my choice for president. Pretty sad that that makes a democratic candidate better than the current occupant of the White House. But those are the facts.

I always disliked him, but the loathing started when he tried to take an old woman's house away for limo parking. The nicest thing I can say about him is that he's a carbon-based life form.
