(649 posts)And I, too, was ecstatic as I cast my vote for McGovern, only to see my dreams shattered on the rocks.
Im a hard left-liner. Hell, I might even be a socialist.
But the rest of the country *isnt*. And America will not elect a self-proclaimed socialist president.
I would love to see a radical lefty like Bernie be elected president. But it will never happen. Not even against the worst president of my lifetime. Mark my words if Bernie is our nominee, he will not break 40% of the popular vote. Trump will win by a landslide and we will tumble the rest of the way into a fascist dictatorship.
Im still hoping that Warren somehow pulls it out. If she doesnt, I dont really have a second choice. But I guess that Id go with Klobuchar at that point. Shes electable and would make a great alternative to Trump.
Gotta keep it real.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
