I don't know about you, but it's my stomach that is surging.

Not any of the candidates. What makes my stomach surge is this feeling that we're replaying an old familiar primary race.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I don't offer any solution. I'll just take more antacids, I suppose.

We have been having primaries forever. And they have been borderline nasty.

I reject all others and could never support anyone from heretical groups such as the Judean People's Front or the so-called, upstart People's Front of Judea. Only the ORIGINAL PEOPLE'S FRONT OF JUDEA matters!

It only appears worse now or more divisive because social media and cable tv are making it more obvious and stirring the pot. My stomach is not churning, in a matter of months this will be over and we can all join together in getting out the vote!

All it seems to do is enable hate, spread discord, and generally give voice to the most uninformed and/or awful.

I firmly believe that the world would be better off without it.

posts when the subject line sounds like a negative one toward any of our candidates. I'm sticking with my current choice unless she drops out. But I'm sure as hell voting blue no matter who in the general. Still, my gut is a churnin' 24/7.
