7. As always, Krugman is spot on.

This reminds me very much of in 2010, when "progressives" we're irate because we did not get single payer, they decided to "teach the party a lesson", to quote the popular phrase in DU at the time, and stay home that election. They wanted to show their strength of numbers by staying home. They encouraged others to stay home too

Of course, the idiots never even considered it was a redistributing election year. The GOP ran the table in 10 and we have the problems that we have nowwuth no hope of getting back congress until 2021 at the earliest when we can try to retake some statehouses and redraw lines

Should the unlikely happen and Sanders is elected prez, he will be severely excoriated, as was Obama by the far left.
