I think you an I are old enough and politically knowledgable enough to know that failure does not constitute getting less than everything you want. Thinking that makes you no less extreme than the Freedom Caucus.......just a lefty version. Roosevelt did't even get everything he wanted; at last count there are still only 9 Supreme Court justices. I was there for McCarthy, Kennedy (Bobby), Anderson and Tsongas yet voted for the eventual nominee------my heart broke when Humphrey lost. My point is, less than perfection is not godawful, and all or nothing at all is childish. Any Democratic voter than will vote for Bernie only, any Bernie fan that thinks Hillary is just as bad as what's facing us on the other side, is acting like a child, an uninformed child. And that can cost a whole lot of lives come January 2017 and beyond.
