I'm So Disappointed with Schumer and Jeffries. They Don't Agree with Me 100%.

89. I am reminded of a line in Amiri Baraka's poem...

..."As a possible lover."

In bashing the self declared purists allegedly on the left who vote for the likes of Jill Stein, the William Pitt types, Pitt being someone who once wrote here about not voting for "less pure" (than himself apparently) Democrats, we are engaging in what Baraka called...

"... the single specious need to keep what you have never really had."

The DU rules here preclude such petulant expressions now and may have always done so. (I know Pitt was once denied posting privaleges.)

Baraka was talking about longing for a lover who would never share in love for or with him, but it might just as well apply to longing for political allies who have never actually been allies. Michael Moore, Jill Stein, Ralph Nader may as well have been Republicans. They were never ours and never will be and thus one may as well be appealing to a wall to move.

Walls don't move.

We cannot keep what we have never really had.
