I am currently a highly sought-after commodity!

...An undecided Democrat supporter in Iowa who is currently planning to caucus.

Current plan is to do an internet search for who's polling best among Black women and then research the policies of the top three contenders. (I'd refine my search further, but I don't think most pollsters refine theirs farther than race + one-of-two-genders, and it's Work With What I've Got O'Clock.) I should be able to find someone I like out of that pool.


(No news from the doctor yet. They didn't actually give me an ETA when I left on Friday. I've been assuming it'll be by the end of the week or thereabouts based on that being about how long it took last time, but I guess I'll have to see. Or possibly call and ask for more details, but bleh, calling.)

Seriously, whoever the eventual Democratic candidate is, they've got my vote. Age is a concern for me for physical and mental health reasons, but if the candidate thought about it, they could also potentially use their own age to push for more social programs for the elderly.

I've also been leaning vaguely Warren-ish, but have told Mrs Supervisor that I'd look into Klobuchar, and I've been thinking vaguely about Yang as well.

Yeah, I think the poll I was seeing was on the older side, anyway, so that might explain some of it. I don't know what sort of luck I'd have finding a newer one, though 😑

Biden and Sanders are both older than 45. Warren is less than four years younger. And I believe Five Thirty Eight assures me those are the frontrunners. (The fourth one in the poll graph on the front page is Buttigieg.) So.

It took me two solid minutes to realize 45 was referring to the Asshole In Chief and not an actual age =_=

Continuing to lean vaguely Warren-ish.

Stacey Abrams as Warren's running mate hadn't occurred to me and really should have
