Even so, it is such a pleasure to support a genuine progressive for president and not even be forced to party-jump to do it. If it’s only until the middle of primary season, I can live with that; it’s the first time since LBJ that I’ve had a progressive potential prez to support.
@BadTux… The difference between rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans: Dems want pie-in-the-sky, while Repub’s, to all evidence, prefer pie-in-the-face. <ba-da-boom! />
]]>Talking about style, Clinton seemed quite professional and wonkish. Bernie Sanders seemed like that cranky Jewish grandfather that you never had, the one who insists on telling you all the stuff you don’t want to hear but that you need to hear. I can see why the millennials are so enamored of Bernie, they know they’re fscked, Bernie’s the only candidate honest enough to tell them why. But I don’t know how well that shtick is gonna work with the voting public as a whole. The American public has a long-held aversion to being told unpleasant truths that they don’t want to hear :(.
