(23,191 posts)An inability to make sound tactical judgements. In our political system, after every push meets every shove, we are essentially given a choice between two individuals running for President with two massive power structure coalitions propelling their final campaigns. We can turn both aside out and throw our support elsewhere, either to make a statement or build toward a different set of potentially winning coalition choices in the non immediate future. We can just sit it out or we can give support to one of the current mega political coalitions WHILE building toward different future choices. Those essentially are our choices come November 2016.
If Bernie Sanders is not the Democratic candidate for President by then I will not have an opportunity to vote for a winning candidate for President that I believe in whole heartedly - but I will still vote and I would rather that the person I then vote for win rather than lose. There is a very good chance that person may well be Hillary Clinton. I have no doubt that she would be a much better president on LGBT issues than whoever the Republicans run if that time comes. It would surprise and concern me if you disagreed.
