A) I don't like any of the Democratic Candidates all that Much Right Now

Its noticeable that the same progressives who pile on Never Trump Rs anytime they offer the slightest criticism of Dems, are the quickest to smear their party’s front runner and the person who, according to polls, is most likely to send Trump into retirement.

B)  "Electability" is, in my mind, a chimera, mashed together from different parts fear, ignorance, and class and generational division.  A candidate who will inspire young voters to vote, for one, is not the candidate who soothes the nerves of elderly voters like yours truly (I really think Biden and Sanders are too old.  Period.)

C) It's still too damned early for polls to mean bupkis.  That's why we have a general campaign which, despite the fact politicians have been "debating" since early summer, hasn't even started yet, and won't start until late NEXT summer!

D)  The "slightest criticism" is usually couched as:  'GODAMMIT DEMOCRATS START ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS AND KICK TRUMP'S ASS TO THE CURB FOR US BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!'

so

E)  Fuck you very much.

Oh, and:

An impending primary election clash between Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Joe Kennedy III has the Democratic party holding its collective breathhttps://t.co/6w5Id6zSUc

Why the hell doesn't this fear and trembling ever happen to Republicans?  They've shut down 4 state primaries so far, just to preserve the tender feelings of Dear Leader, yet no one seems to think that's going to send shivers up and down the GOP ballot, because apparently the tiny margins by which Trump won in 2016 guarantee his supporters will overwhelm the Democratic candidate no matter who it is.

As I was saying, too damned early for any of this to mean bupkis....
