    But that's exactly my point. Four people dying at once should be an awful travesty. Instead, I think that it's not so bad to have 4 dead people vs a dozen or even three dozen people. That is what...

    But that's exactly my point. Four people dying at once should be an awful travesty. Instead, I think that it's not so bad to have 4 dead people vs a dozen or even three dozen people.

    That is what makes me sad.

    I feel like a shitty person for thinking it, but I'm also mad at the state of things in this country that primed my brain to have a thought like this.

    I think JXM was contrasting millennials with GenZ's, but just wasn't super clear about it. I think they meant that the 15 year old is a GenZ.

    This problem is what distresses me MOST about the primaries. I feel confident Trump won't see a second term, no matter the dem nom (knock on wood). But the thought of Biden getting the nomination and my having to vote for him in the general makes me as upset or more than when I had to cast the ballot for Hillary.

    I really want Bernie. I wouldn't hate Warren. But I do freaking hate that I have to make an explicit choice between them like this.

    I just feel SO frustrated with our entire election process. The length of campaigning, no ranked choice, and the goddamn electoral college. I'm so sick of it.

    Ugh, I know. What I struggle with is that it doesn't feel good and I really want Bernie. Overall, I won't let emotion overtake logic. I just wish I could have my cake and eat it too.

    I am having a very hard time with this primary. Sanders and Warren are fairly close in my estimation, but for me, Sanders wins out. I want to vote for him, but I'm torn because I think Warren has a better chance of getting the nomination. I don't want to vote against Sanders, but I also don't want to take a vote away from Warren if she'd closely win the nomination over Biden. I REALLY don't want Biden...

    I just fucking wish we had ranked choice voting. I would feel so, so much better about things if we did.

    Interesting article. I never really thought about the fact that there might be some people who specifically don't want nutrition facts next to their recipes. When it comes to actual printed cookbooks, I wonder if having an index of nutrition facts would be a good solution. Easy to flip to the back of the book to see the facts if you want them, without intruding on the recipe's page itself.

    This all just so infuriating, and heartbreaking. It makes me feel ashamed and so, so angry. I just wish this would end for God's sake.
