what i'm going to say is this.

i want a younger candidate, and will jump on one if i can find one. but, if i can't, i'm going to end up supporting him, by default. and, i've always supported fringe candidates like kucinich or nader, so don't be surprised if i can't find anybody i'm willing to support in the democratic field, either.

but, frankly? it's starting to look like the left needs to plan for 2024. i may stick with sanders in the end, but if i do it will likely be as a protest vote.

if a younger candidate does appear, i'm going to expect bernie to step back, too.
