I am not saying anything other than "Who does Kissinger support again?".

I am in a truly perplexed place right now.

I know it's hard to keep all this stuff straight but Hillary spoke of "obliterating" Iran.

Sure it voting for the lesser of evils might protect some American lives, but what about all the other people who will die as a result of eternal warfare and new adventures in invasion?

We are continually brow-beaten into voting for increasingly less-liberal, less-progressive, more-corporate Democratic candidates because, we're assured, the Republicans are much worse.

Assuming we continue this strategy, where does that leave the Democratic Party in 2024? 2032? What kind of corporate hellscape will we have triangulated ourselves into?

Trump or HRC will doom us. Trump will refuse to do anything, and will try to obstruct, or undo what we have done. HRC will simply drag her feet until all the damage is irreversible. Only Sanders will try and take immediate action.

So, that said, it's an easy choice for me.
