Primary Pro-Tip: Vote For The Candidate You Think Should Be President.
Darlings! Today’s a short one, since I have to prep for client meetings and my Odd Salon talk tonight on the Children’s Crusade so let’s get to it!
It’s Super Tuesday! So if you’re in Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont or Virginia, get thee to the polls! Voting is easy, fun, and should be a basic requirement for anyone who complains about politics.
And it should be no surprise to this here Missive, but I dropped off my ballot yesterday and voted for Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic nominees for president. I voted for her enthusiasm, her fearlessness, her resiliency, her humor, her plans on plans on plans, her doggedness, her history of results, her optimism in the face of dire circumstances, her joy in meeting everyday Americans on the campaign trail, her knowledge, her cunning, her brilliance, her unflappable belief that we can be better, that we must be better. I voted for the candidate I feel is best positioned to win in November.
THAR BE INTERNET THINGS!
