58. So you think that giving trump four more years will help the non-billionaires?

Are you into the sarandon mode? You know, that shit about how Hillary was just like trump?

So yes. If those who want Bernie for our candidate decide to stay home or vote third party or vote for trump, then they are willing to blow up the country if they get their feelings hurt.

You have no idea who I am. I've been a socialist as long as Bernie. I want everything that he rants about. But I learned what he hasn't. I'd rather Medicare for all, but Obamacare is better than no care. I'd rather have free college, but a sane reworking of the loan program is better than betsy voss sticking to the working class student. You see - it isn't about me and my little feelings. It's about getting something done. Each of the Democratic presidents that you hate so much has moved the country toward better policy. Every time we run someone who can't win, the republicans take most of that back. I'll take two steps forward and one step back over three steps backward.

But that's just me. I can give up a little of my fantasy for a better reality.

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