Because I support Hillary

7. IMO people

who thought there was no difference between former Governors Pat Brown and Ronald Reagan were just like the people who thought there was no difference between Al Gore and George W Bush.

I used to be more sympathetic to people who were purists but then I look at the results of a Reagan and George W Bush presidencies and I get angry. I think of all the dead and maimed from the Iraq War, which would never have happened under Gore. I think that in a democracy the blame ultimately falls on the voters. Of course, I know that Gore won the popular vote, but if even more people had voted for Gore, it would have been harder for the Supreme Court (whose right wing members were appointed by Republican presidents) to steal the election.

I like Elizabeth Warren and I like Bernie Sanders. But if by a miracle, either becomes President, I fully expect DU to be full of complainers about them. Because neither will please the purists once he/she is elected.
