Everyone on here is not going to give up without a fight...and for that I applaud us all...or we wouldn't be here. But we can't fight phantoms and fairies, no matter how sick of the choice of the lesser of evils, or to vote while holding our nose, stuff. When 110 million people, give or take, have 2 choices, the chances of a whole lot of people having to go with the former or the latter, is pretty good. The others, I call them stay at home pouters, don't deserve yours or my time or the fight or the rights of a democracy, IMO.
My gut along with my logic, inconveniently inform me that the anti-corporate plank of the Progressives is not sustainable...literally. The angst about Hillary, I believe, is mostly about that and that she got that a long time ago...Bill got it, Obama got it, Bush got it. The real deals get it. One billion dollars. Right now, she's the only one we've got who could do that...and that's why she's not fiscally Pure/Progressive. And that's why, for this moment in time, she's got my support. That could change. I'm not a die hard. Just haven't heard anything but the Republican mantra. No. No. Bad idea. No Other Ideas. Just. No.
But I often agree with and enjoy your posts.
On a personal note, since you brought it up ...the preacher was my Dad. He was a child during WWI and an Army Chaplain in Japan in WWII. My mother was a public school music teacher. I'm a retired elementary teacher. Elizabeth Warren is also a teacher/professor that I adore and am proud to also share her first name.
