And by "we," I don't mean just Democrats. I mean Democracy.
This morning I saw this headline:
Tonight, I saw this one:
Shit.
Whether crude face-saving ploy or cosmic irony, this election's over.
Shit.
Frail old grandpa or death-defying superhero, whodyathink is gonna win?
Shit.
The clock's running down and we got no team, no replacement.
Shit. Shit. Goddamn fucking shit.
What else is there to say?
Update, 7/18/24, 11 a.m.:
Well, I was pretty upset and frustrated yesterday, fellas. I still am; but please don't despair. Bad things happen, and we've seen a string of them in the last few weeks. But good things happen, too.
Perseverance through adversity is what makes a man a man: what has made many men worthy of our respect and admiration down through the ages. Even a girly boy like me can be a real man by that measure.
I really don't know if it's better for Biden to stay or go, or what the future holds for us and our country. But we can face it together if we hang tough, buddies. A good time may come yet. Keep a smile on your face and peace in your heart.
Cowboy up! The rodeo ain't over yet.
