(46,179 posts)He's out there campaigning for Democrats from HRC on down the ticket, bringing his energy and enthusiasm to the effort to GOTV. How irrelevant. Let's shrug his efforts off.
What's happening right now is that two of the most unpopular candidates ever are campaigning for president. One candidate's whole campaign is based on how terrible the other candidate is. She's right, but that's how she has to win; by being less bad.
I'm done with the presidential election. I know enough about both major party choices to know how to cast my vote. I will do so. There's nothing there to energize me, to enthuse me, or to make me want to be part of helping clean up our broken political system going forward. There's just a grim determination to deny Trump the WH.
Sanders has got that energy going on. Probably why this thread was posted here, instead of that other forum about the presidential election that I trashed.
