(25,699 posts)And I think it's a little weird that while I understand that presidents are not, and never can be transformational, revolutionary figures, gentlemen such as yourself with longer experience in "the game" seem to still argue for or against as if they were. US politics is a low, plodding process towards progress, sometimes with backwards stumbles, often with long pauses.
Sanders is a step forward. We understand he's not a long jump. But compared to Clinton being either a pause, or a stumble (depending on how much "warm purple sauce" she wants us to swallow) we'll take that step forward.
If you think you can sneer at bernie supporters because our candidate isn't going to be radical, revolutonary change, then you suffer a severe lack of understanding bout what's going on, and all the elections in your past apparently aren't bringing you any enlightenment on the subject.
