9. Slow down a bit. Nader? Gore won that election.

I want primary candidates who will represent my voice. Sanders does that.

It can be argued, but I believe there is only a line that moves away from reality as one moves from liberal to conservative.

*Disclaimer: what I am referring to as "reality" is the construct that society makes, not the real world where it's brutal. The liberal reality is one where we all have the right to live in relative comfort. The conservative reality is one where if you are lucky you can live comfortably, otherwise you are living in the brutal reality; the very one we as a society have worked so hard to transcend.
