People who want Trump to win the GE in order to "Bring on the Revolution" are no different than...

91. Again - very much with you in spirit...

... But how do you envision change to the process they set up without participating in that process so overwhelmingly that we take it over? That's what has drawn me to Bernie so strongly - the prospect of taking the damn thing back from the establishment! But even though his candidacy has been a huge step in the right direction, it looks more and more like it may come up just short this time around. That's politics, I suppose - especially anti-establishment politics since the establishment seldom crumbles overnight.

So assuming Bernie loses means we have Clinton (essentially status quo) or Trump (essentially chaos on steroids). That seems a pretty clear choice to me. Maybe if the welfare of so many were not at stake I could get behind a "let Trump get in there and burn it down so we can rebuild it" strategy, but a lot of innocents will likely burn in the fire too, and I don't feel comfortable sacrificing them for some "greater good" ideal. And note - I'm in a position to survive a meltdown - in fact, I'm a lawyer and might expect to benefit financially from a wasteland scenario. But that's a lot of hungry and homeless people without healthcare, suffering job losses and discrimination. That's real human suffering - perhaps not as dramatic as 3rd world stuff, but still very real and tangible.

I prefer playing for field position on this possession, and working to be able to score on the next. Maybe I'll convert as the game clock gets closer to 0:00, but I just don't feel it's there yet. JMHO.
