(4,769 posts)I don't know if many will see the connection, but your support of Bernie Sanders transcends more than just all the issues he will be great at/in/for. It's also a shot in the war against reactionaries.
Reactionaries, the anchor on humanity that stops progress everywhere it rears its head. Wars, global warming, living wage, torture, racism, trade policies, over-population, progressive policies, privatization, war on drugs, green energy, ubiquitous spying, militarized police, hyper-partisanship, and political progress. They may be led by amoral, greedy bastards that direct people into doing the worst thing - almost every time - but the people they lead don't think past the talking points. They react without thought, hence they are reactionaries; and when they do get things right, it's purely accidental.
