Bernie Sanders, according to my 19 year old daughter.

61. There are legitimate reasons not to support Sanders while still caring about the community.

Most notably the prevailing attitude among most leftists I know, which is that they would have loved to support Sanders had he run as a third party candidate rather than as a Democratic candidate. Most believe (and with A LOT of evidence and history supporting them) that even should he beat the odds and win the presidency, he not only will have limited the debate to within the confines of the Democratic Party (aka no discussion of a change from capitalism), but he will have succeeded in pulling many people back into the Democratic Party, preventing them from radicalizing and forming an independent movement that would have a real chance of a genuine revolution against capitalism.

Whew. Long sentence.

Basically, they're saying that best case is that he's another FDR: a capitalist hero (he wasn't what people on this site think he is) who prevented a true social/political revolution, rather than the Sanders pseudo-political revolution that really isn't much other than a shift leftwards within the very narrow scope of US politics.

Anyways, putting that out there. This is something I intend to politely ask the Sanders group about.
