I will vote for Sanders, but even if he wins my suspicion is it will not make a lot of difference. At this point the only thing American politics can do is the equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The ice burg hit was hours ago, the lower compartments are nearly flooded, and the boat is already listing past the point of no return.
The reality is that the American political system is hopelessly corrupted, ham-strung by an antiquated Constitution, and bankrupted by an out-of-control military. But we Americans abandoned any relationship with reality a long time ago, the crazies took over, and pure lunacy rules. Sanders is not as crazy as some of the others, but he has about as much hope of bailing out this country as Captain Smith had of bailing the North Atlantic out of his ship.
Vote, it is the right thing to do ...
”but do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.” LOTH, The Two Towers
(Silly movie. After all, the last fucking thing we need is the return of a King. But it was okay mythology and this is a good quote.)
