That old election blues

You know, from a foreign point of view it really matters less which of the Democratic candidates wins the nomination, as long as it is a Democrat who wins the elections. None of the Democratic candidates, not even nohoper Dennis K. is that much of a progressive, most are likely in the short term to continue the Bush foreign policy with regards to Iraq and most won’t bring radical changes at home either. But even Hillary Clinton is preferable to any candidate the Republicans can round up, as the Republican party as a whole needs to be destroyed, seeing as its corruption is now endemic.

Which is why this primary season is a bit lost on me. The horse race aspects of it, which is all the media even here can care about (Dutch tv news not being much better than the US) are only interesting if you are actually rooting for a candidate. Since none of the candidates has a political stance appealing to me (and why should they?), so I can’t really bring myself to care overtly much.

Just don’t let the Democrats fuck up the elections again.
