Bernie said.."The goal isn't to win elections" [View all]

the rest of the quote explains Sanders thought which is worthy and should not be dismissed...
"The goal isn’t to win elections, the goal is to transform America"

The problem is today it is imperative to win the election.

But Bernie is still playing the 'transform' america game while the enemy has america in a deathgrip.

America as an ideal will die, if we don't wrest control from the GOP immediately.

I wrote in January 2017 and several time after, we have to crash the system in order to get Trump and the GOP out of power. I can see over the last few days that there have been articles the our time is running out to stop this train wreck...and I believe it.

I don't think its time for niceties.

That is the appeal of Mike, he is all in on the enemy.

He's still not my choice...but I fully understand why people are backing him.
I guess those people are seeing things similar to the way I am...but they are even more desperate or pessimistic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
