It’s a mess. Iowa was a shitshow and shouldn’t be first anyway. New
Hampshire shouldn’t be second, it’s totally preposterous, yet the party
lacks the stones to tell these self-important, second-tier states to go
stuff it. The candidates don’t look like winners. The party looks like
it might be headed toward a face-off between a billionaire and a man who
wants to ban billionaires, neither of them really Democrats.
It’s not just Sanders and the electability question. The whole field, while all of them seem like good, dedicated people, has disappointed.

New Hampshire is voting. I remember when this used to be an exciting day. Even if my candidate didn’t win, which he (they were all men) usually didn’t, I loved both the reliable rituals and the unexpected little accidents. If memory serves (the video doesn’t seem to be online), I recall Illinois Senator Paul Simon saying during his concession speech in 1988 that “our platform is strong”—right before the riser he was standing on collapsed.
Well, it’s not exciting now. It’s depressing. I’m depressed. Almost everybody I know, every Democrat anyway, is depressed.
Black Voters Turn to Mike Bloomberg
