The Clinton Campaign Is Screwed

116. I haven't voted for a democrat in a national election since 2002....

I finally realized that the democratic establishment jammed increasingly right centrist candidates down the throats of progressive liberals year after year by invoking the threat that the current election-- no matter which election was the current one-- that this year's election was just too important to risk on the progressive candidate. Maybe in the next cycle. Time after time after time.

This time we have the opportunity to elect a real progressive. Maybe-- just maybe-- another president as visionary as FDR. The New Deal and its aftermath drove the expansion of American prosperity and a burgeoning middle class through the post war years and into the 1970s. That is the sort of alternative vision for American prosperity and economic, domestic policy that I have hoped would emerge from the democratic party for decades.

Senator Sanders is the candidate that I've been waiting for most of my adult life. I'm an unabashed socialist. I'm afraid that if establishment democrats prevail we will never have this opportunity again during my lifetime.
