Mar 2013

It's about three years until anybody cares about the 2016 presidential election. Those who do care are playing into the media hype of perpetual presidential campaigns, a disease which has infected our political bodies.

I don't give a fuck who will, or will not be the Democratic Party nominee for President in 2016! The reason why is because all those projecting possible candidates are merely projecting wishful thinking.

It is almost certainly that those cheering on a 2016 President-Elect Jones will be wrong.

Why don't people here realize that a big problem with US politics is that we seem to be always involved in a presidential election? Most other countries do this in a few weeks!

That's our problem. To the extent that people want to start the 2016 presidential election now, fuck Hillary, fuck Warren, and fuck anybody who wishes perpetual presidential campaigning on us.

Give it a rest.
