ok
gotta hurry
already fell asleep in the chair
went to dinner with my mom
came home watched the debate

i'm curious what your take on these people is

i believe elizabeth warren is smart and a good person
i believe that she believes that what she wants to do will work
but
i'm not sure i believe that it will
i mean, for one, although i feel like corporations are a problem
i'm not sure i wanna start with restructuring them
not at this juncture
not like she says
let's pick our battles
not spread it out so much that none of it gets done

if i just say
well, who seems presidential
then kamala harris is clearly out front
but
there's some question about how much her prosecutorial background
makes her a bad guy and a tool of the man
and non-progressive
plus
she is in that clintonian democrat group
which i am suspect of generally
but
i like her, i can't help it

bernie and biden are on opposite ends of the spectrum, maybe
and i got issues with each of them
but really, just
children of the cold war type situation--  new guard, man, new guard

booker, i mean, i'm likin him more
but
he comes off to me as slick
used car salesman in a way

beto--  i barely recognize ya

julian castro
i didn't know much about
and i had a vaguely negative view towards
which was based on who knows what shit floating through the air
and he impressed me, brought up good points
still came across as very arrogant
but
maybe with some justification
i do not like him for president
but
i'd like more of him, somehow

tulsi, marianna, and kirsten
unfortunately
all needed to shut up, multiple times
and had that look of being completely out of their depth
while feeling like they were the most qualified candidate
i want to see less of them
and that makes me sad, a little

i like mayor pete
idk
the cop/shooting question
'i just didn't get it done'
[sorry,that won't make any sense if you didn't see it]
was not confidence boosting
he's always talking about his ability to get it done
and this admittedly owning up moment
just made me wonder if he's really got the stuff
not sayin he doesn't
but it just hung there-- made me nervous

swalwell interested me
not so much as a president
but, maybe somethin else
or maybe in the future
i just want to know more about him

i like andrew yang
i want a $1000 a month
i'm not voting for him for president
but i'm glad he's running
i don't think his economics is crazy
i'd like to see more of him too

there are like seven more people
and
i don't think i want to hear anymore from them
or maybe i do
but i just don't know it

i'm sure they're all to contribute to the conversation
but
whatever they said
i either didn't like
but not so much that i felt a need to comment
or
it just didn't stick




also

i dreamed last night
that i was in my early twenties
and i wrote a song
for my boyfriend
and i brought it in this player contraption
it was mixed and recorded
and
really really good
it had serious potential
and he was having trouble wrapping his head around the fact that
i had produced this complex musical thing
and he was working in this store
and he kept giving away people's confirmed rental cars
i was worried that he'd get fired


goodnight sweetheart
i love you very much
