(57,055 posts)start looking a lot more like the GOP and we'll have our own versions of the Tea Party and Libertarians (would ours be suitably misnamed as the Conservatarians? Libertarians are Republicans who want to smoke pot legally, would Conservatarians want to grow pot legally but only for medicinal reasons?) and we surely don't want that.
Because then it'll be two clown cars. It starts with pandering to 'conservatives' and ends with condescending to the 'lesser' among us.
But I have no doubt. Bernie will do the right thing and at the very least we'll stay together and keep the clown car out of the White House.
How does a Biden/Sanders ticket sound to you as covering most people's doubts and attracting the most voters so we can get the problems with Congress a good at start at unseating; which we can finish in 2020.
I think Congress is more important than which Democrat gets to be POTUS.
