We could move the country in a more progressive
direction if we win the White House in 2016.
Chances are if we have a Dem President in 2017 we will have elected a majority in the Senate.
That President could potentially place 4 judges on the Supreme Court bench in eight years. That would give us a liberal court for the next 30 or 40 years.
So who ever wins our primary we need to support them in the General.
If we lose it means a return to pre New Deal times. 2016 will be the best shot younger voters will have in shaping their future. Let's hope most of us remain pragmatic about this. Any talk of not voting for our candidate in the general should be met with angst I think. This is no time for staying home.
