Why i believe Sanders needs to win

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Holy fuck, ever word of the above from you screams against the basic principles of actual democracy! "Vote with us, or you vote against us!" GWB had a version of that, with which he addressed the whole world.

Not at all my point.  Assuming you care about the kinds of things Sanders speaks to, I'm arguing you should vote strategically not passionately.  You're mis-representing what I said.

No, I'm not trying to misrepresent you, wouldn't wish to with one who I respect. I'm just trying to point out a rather twisting turn in modern politics which you speak for, as you don't seem to appreciate why no proponent for actual democracy should be messing with it. It's a cure which is far more harmful than the disease. I'd suggest a better fix for the problem which we both are aware of and concerned with, but not having one is not much of a reason to resort to suicide. Give the fuckers inside the Washington Circle a record of who the voters actually want - they are the ones who should compromise without fucking you, not the other way around!
