I've made my final decision

I’m not gonna pay any more attention to the primaries or the endless threads about Bernie Sanders.

I’m just gonna vote for Liz in my primary (if she’s still in the race at that time) and vote for the Democratic candidate for president in November, whoever it is.

In the meantime I’m just gonna turn the noise off and concentrate on the upcoming baseball season! It’s far less aggravating and much more relaxing.

Have fun, kids

My primary isn't until late April and by that time it probably will be all over. I decided it won't make any difference if I stop paying attention to the primary and I will vote blue no matter who come November. It makes life so much more pleasant to turn off the unnecessary noise.

I believe it is time to leave this forum behind and tune out the endless infighting.

to stay out of the primaries forum. It's a cesspool. I'm also very tired of DU Jury Duty every time I log on.

but then I think about my Civics class taken so long ago in middle school, and I relent. I keep telling myself, "It's silly season, it's silly season, it'll quiet down in another two months or so".............. but there's just so damned many requests for jury duty! It'll calm down sooner or later, right?

Start turning a few down. They're all pretty much the same anyway. Everyone wants to tattle on the "enemy".

It probably will slow down, but I don't know, since I don't participate.

I'm sorry this is so aggravating for you, my dear SergeStorms.

I know choosing who to vote for can be an agonizing decision sometimes. Warren is a great choice from a great field. : )

Same for me, except baseball season is never relaxing for me, because my team always ends up driving me nuts.
