Political rant
Mar. 5th, 2020 11:03 pmElizabeth Warren withdrew from the presidential race today. I'm heartbroken and angry. Predictably, I have seen some posts about how Warren should endorse Sanders and how bad it will be if she endorses Biden. One comment, presumably from a Sanders supporter, even went so far as to claim that if she did the latter, it would set the progressive cause back decades. Fuck that. If Warren is so damn crucial to and has so much sway over the progressive cause, then you should have fucking voted for her. You wanted the cause in Bernie's hands and that's what you now have. It will stand or fall on his actions and merits now. She doesn't owe you shit. I hope she holds off on any endorsements for a good while.
I expect sometime in the future I will be asked whether I've transferred my support to Biden or Sanders. Right now, my response is pretty much meh, and whatever. If I lived in a state that hadn't yet held its primary, I'd honestly be tossing a coin. I'll vote for whichever one gets the nomination, because anything is better than Trump. But that's about as much as I can muster right now. If the patriarchy, even the more progressive corners of it, is so bound and determined to keep power in the hands of old white men, so be it. I've had it, and no longer give a shit which old white man they pick.
