when I am given a choice between eating highly toxic sludge and eating sludge that is merely of an unappealing taste, color and mouth-feel, I reserve the right to postpone that choice indefinitely, even though my eventual choice would be obvious from the start.

I contented myself some time ago with the likelihood that the 2020 democratic nominee would probably fall somewhere outside of my top 10 or 20 personal choices. We'd have to fall a whole lot farther than Biden before I started to question my impending + unenthusiastic vote.
― Blithering Hayseed (Old Lunch), Friday, 17 May 2019 17:37 (four years ago) link
voted trump
because while a biden victory will merely make the libs and dems feel good, surely a trump victory will energize the international left!
― the late great, Friday, 17 May 2019 17:38 (four years ago) link
surely!

Good point. Think of what an energized left could do if the democrats retook the house, just think, thiiiiiiiiiink

4 more years of trump would surely be the fuse that would ignite a grassroots progressive revolution led by 83 year-old Bernie Sanders in 2024.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Sunday, 19 May 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link
True, though is that definitely enough time? Imagine how energised the left would be if Trump got another decade in power - the right would be resting on their laurels then!

I realize tongue in cheek post, and i dont think anything like this for 2020. Could make a cogent argument that longer term, M4A has become more likely due to Trumps presidency, and would be dead in the water if Hillary had got in.
But if the result of the energized and galvanized left is people backing Joe fucking Biden out of pure defensive fear, then this theory can shuffle off in shame, and take M4A with it
― anvil, Friday, 31 May 2019 07:53 (four years ago) link
that said, I voted Trump. I like a winner, and Biden won't win against Trump. Not convinced the cloak of 'electoral invincibility' can last the primaries

correct: Jackson's father was born in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, in current-day Northern Ireland, around 1738.[5] Jackson's parents lived in the village of Boneybefore, also in County Antrim. His paternal family line originated in Killingswold Grove, Yorkshire, England.[6]

For Watt now found himself in the midst of things which, if they consented to be named, did so as it were with reluctance. And the state in which Watt found himself resisted formulation in a way no state had ever done, in which Watt had ever found himself, and Watt had found himself in a great many states, in his day. Looking at a pot, for example, or thinking of a pot, at one of Mr. Knott's pots, of one of Mr. Knott's pots, it was in vain that Watt said, Pot, pot. Well, perhaps not quite in vain, but very nearly. For it was not a pot, the more he looked, the more he reflected, the more he felt sure of that, that it was not a pot at all. It resembled a pot, it was almost a pot, but it was not a pot of which one could say, Pot, pot, and be comforted. It was in vain that it answered, with unexceptionable adequacy, all the purposes, and performed all the offices, of a pot, it was not a pot. And it was just this hairbreadth departure from the nature of a true pot that so excruciated Watt. For if the approximation had been less close, then Watt would have been less anguished. For then he would not have said, This is a pot, and yet not a pot, no, but then he would have said, This is something of which I do not know the name. And Watt preferred on the whole having to do with things of which he did not know the name, though this too was painful to Watt, to having to do with things of which the known name, the proven name, was not the name, any more, for him. For he could always hope, of a thing of which he had never known the name, that he would learn the name, some day, and so be tranquillized. But he could not look forward to this in the case of a thing of which the true name had ceased, suddenly, or gradually, to be the true name for Watt. For the pot remained a pot, Watt felt sure of that, for everyone but Watt. For Watt alone it was not a pot, any more.
