We are in a weird place in our country. On the one hand, it's primary season so there's a level of excitement in the air as people get a chance to have their say in the future of our country. On the other hand, the COVID-19 virus is slowly making inroads nearly everywhere in the U.S. Everyone is hunkering down, trying to avoid contact with other people, while at the same time venturing out only to get food and vote. We are now over 1000 confirmed cases in the U.S.

Watching the returns last night on TV, it's amazing to see turnout is up over 2016. Back then, there was a certain malaise, as neither primary candidate was very inspirational after 8 years of President Obama, and none of the Republican contenders seemed very threatening. This year, after 3 years of tRump incompetence and mendacity, the need to push him out of office in November is very real. It's enough to risk catching a potentially deadly virus.

Yesterday's Super Tuesday election is a slice of where America is right now. It tells the story of a cautious America shell-shocked after 3 years of the disastrous tRump regime. It shows an electorate who felt "Berned" last time, and not willing to risk it again. In short - Biden brought home the bacon - and almost 300 electoral votes. Sanders gained less than 200. Warren is struggling with only 25 and couldn't even win her home state.

This - to me - says that while a lot of America would like to see some changes, they feel that going with the "safe" choice gets us going in the right direction. There's a lot of talk about Biden being a "moderate" (the Bernie-cult would use much less friendly sobriquets). While there was some initial thought that Warren would sap some "progressive" voters from Sanders, it seems that his Bernie-or-bust fanatics are not as prevalent as everyone (particularly themselves) would believe.
