I finally figured something out. Those who don't agree with

me about who will be the Democratic nominee are simply low-information voters. I mean, if they knew everything I knew, or thought I knew, they'd obviously agree with me, right?

I wonder why it took me so long to understand that. Sheesh!

Or are you merely so brilliant that all others are blinded by your brilliance?

Yup, I've been blinded by MM's brilliance. It was bound to happen eventually.

I'm a DFL precinct chair in St. Paul, MN. But that comes with no real duties or privileges. I did chair my precinct caucus on March 1, but that also gives me no particular influence about anything. I was a delegate to our state senate district convention last Saturday, but, again, I'm not sure that's much of a power position, somehow. It's all just a way to be involved with Democratic politics.

I don't know where you got the idea I have anything to do with the DNC. Certainly not from me.
