Here in Los Angeles, presidential candidate advertising has begun to show up on the airwaves.

The first I heard came from Gary Johnson, who makes a relatively cogent and sound argument for why a voter should look for other options than those offered by the Republicans and Democrats. He fails to make a case for why he and his running mate (William Weld) should be the voter's choice, however.

Thanks for playing, Gary!

The other comes from a PAC, which if I remember the name correctly is Liberty USA. They are trying to rally the voters to "rescue" Trump's campaign from the evil Hillary Clinton. It's over the top, and if one is into drinking games, this would be a great starter piece for when the "debates" begin - assuming they do.

Because the leading candidates are shifting into passing gear, I felt I have had enough from the also rans and the wanna-stills. I am in the process of unsubscribing from clearly Democratic Party emails. I got one, featuring Chuck Schumer, nagging me about why I haven't responded to previous emails demanding my support. Yes - I said demanding. That was the trigger for me to say that I've had enough and to give them a (microscopic) piece of my mind.

To Schumer's email, I flung the following as my reason for unsubscribing:

All the Democratic candidates I was willing to support lost their races. Those who remain do not represent my interests. I'm sure there is some corporate money somewhere which will more than make up for my hard-earned hourly-wage dollars.

I also got an email from corporatist Jeff Weaver, President of Our Revolution. Since I am of the faction that disdains his preference to accept corporate money in the name of "transforming the Democratic Party", I have decided that he was to walk the plank as well:

I don't see the remaining "Democrats" doing anything to end corporate money purchasing their services.

Several other unsubscribes went out, but without comments as either they lost their elections, or they represent causes I care about (but can't afford to contribute to) AND they approached me without my asking to be a part of their activities. I find butting in like they did to be somewhat rude, so I was rude back in letting them wonder why I departed in a huff.

There will probably be more of this soon, as I have to clear the decks before that email provider begins to charge me for their services. Those messengers I wish to maintain are being moved to other accounts. Those I do not will start getting 404s.

So tell us - who have you cut off, and how did you feel doing it? Caucusing Minds Want To Know
