I've kind of been getting really annoyed about a bunch of stuff circulating both within political Twitter and writing world about politics. Within the political Twitter world, there are a bunch of pundits out there that, frankly, have me shaking my head and saying "I could do better." Not only do I hold an actual, y'know, degree in Political Science with an emphasis on electoral politics, but I have 20-plus years of experience in electoral party politics and several years of union organizing experience. I've just never gone there, because while I've done 'zine-level political writing (in the '90s) and wrote a column for my university newspaper while getting my Masters in Special Education, I've not liked doing a lot of the pundit-type writing. Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have stuck to it and tried to go national, but...oh well, such is life and that possibility would have required many different choices back in the '80s and '90s.
