Republicans have it, especially with SCOTUS appointments coming up.

Still I'm feeling that if we pass up the chance to get a man like Bernie elected, we'll pretty much have whatever happens coming to us. More like the people responsible for any other outcome will deserve what they get, and have screwed the rest of us.

It could be that if we can't have Bernie, it'd be better to say fuck it and let it burn. Maybe that's what it will take? Really hit bottom with a total RW takeover to make people wake up. I hope not.
