What Hillary supporters don't understand

[Lorien]

200. As I keep saying; it's just a f*cking sports game to some people

OUR LIVES and the FUTURE OF THE PLANET is at stake here, and some oh-so-comfortable "Democrats" only care about their team beating another team. It doesn't matter that they BOTH want more war and corporate corruption, all that matters is the team win. They may have lots of stock tied up with the Kochs, Walmart, Monsanto, Exxon-Mobile, the Military Industrial complex and for profit prison industry, so they don't give two fucks about climate change or millions in debt slavery. This isn't a "attack", these are the facts; if you support the DLC candidate, you support *exactly* the same policies that the GOP does, save for (perhaps) differences on women's reproductive rights, nutball gun policies and gay marriage. Now, those three issues are important, and important to Bernie as well, but if you don't think that our planet and the Nation's workers are in very serious trouble, then you're not paying attention. This is not the time for "incremental change" and a multi-trillion dollar war with Iran. Bernie has the highest approval rating in the Senate. He's helped to pass 13 bills while in the Senate. Hillary's total? ZERO. Republicans respect Bernie even if they don't agree with him. His honesty is a huge asset when it comes to negotiating with the other side. He UNITES people, and we need such a leader now more than ever before. Hillary is divisive; look at how she's divided DU, both now and in 2008, when just as much vitriol was being flung around. Historically no candidate with negative ratings as high as hers are has ever won the Presidency. Yes, she's survived plenty of GOP attacks, because the people she serves-the oligarchy-protects her. Partisanship is great for them; they don't want the people to unite for common causes; they want to keep the whole Blue vs. Red dynamic intact. They want gridlock in the house and Senate on anything that would benefit the rest of us, and Hillary offers them that. Why play into their hands? Aren't we all tired of this game? Isn't it time for a new direction, or is the current one really working for all of you?
