For the record, I like every Democrat in the race for 2020. Some more than others but I’d happily support any as the nominee.
I’m super negative on the celebritizing of politics though and double-standards in treatment between male and female candidates.
Expect some sniping.

That sniping will largely be about those two things:
Treating candidates like heroes to be worshiped rather than like potential representatives to be vetted, chosen and held to task; and
Giving free passes to some and excessive demerits to others.

If those snipes hit your preferred candidate, you won’t get far by defending them in a reply because those two beefs are primarily about *us* not the candidate.
We worship too much; vet too little; and apply different rules... and all three of those is bad IMHO.

Whatever. I haven’t had enough coffee. Don’t grammar-shame me.
