(38,600 posts)This is not 1988. The reality is reality is beginning to sink in.
In 1988, the destruction of the middle class was nowhere near as obvious as it is now; there were not Jeffry Epstein types flaunting their criminality and for that matter, Donald Trumps flaunting his criminality.
I have no use for Bernie Sanders. I think he's a tiresome fool with simplistic and inflexible ideas. That said, as much as I hold him in low esteem, even if he is weaker than Michael Dukakis, I think if the country is quite capable of voting for the lesser of two idiots.
The election of Bernie Sanders to the Presidency in normal times would be a disaster, but look, if I have a choice between having curable leukemia and incurable pancreatic cancer, I know what I'd choose.
Those people in the church down south had it right. The only reason to vote for Donald Trump is that one is a white racist. Willie Horton certainly did bring in the racist vote for Bush, and the Bush claim that they're not racists is obviated by how they lived. But the Horton case was there to help small government fools put themselves over the top with the Klan vote.
Now there is only the Klan vote for the Republican party.
Given that choice between Hell and Hades, I'd choose Hades, and would even sit in the hut tub there with Bernie Sanders.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
