Time To Stop Wasting Everyone's Time, Bernie

For a considerable portion of the electorate this is all they needed.

Otherwise, aside from the pie-in-the-sky nature of some of Sanders' proposals you're right.  There is no real difference between them...except Gun Control which I strongly favor.
That wouldn't help him with the rednecks though..... they ain't votin' for no jew socialist, no way - no how.  Jesus wouldn't like it.

Sanders opposes "foreign entanglements" which sounds nice except we are already entangled all over the fucking world as a result of a 60 year process of trying to contain communism.  Most things in life are easier to get into than out of.  I'm not convinced that Sanders is much better adapted to the world situation than that shithead Trump.  You know, when you avoid "foreign entanglements" you get very close to the Dubya position of not talking to anyone who opposes us.  This is a shitty idea.  Hillary is a much better diplomat.

I suppose you can work yourself up into a lather because in the comparison above in a few places one agrees ( or disagrees) and the other "strongly agrees or disagrees" but that's just hyperbole.

Now, here is reality:  No matter who wins the presidency it is vital to flip the senate back to the democrats and to whittle down the GOP majority in the house.  Failing that, expect to see the social gains of the last few years reversed with one more conservatard justice named to the court.  That is what is at stake.

1) First, the general election polls say otherwise. Bernie consistently beats both Trump and Cruz in these polls whereas one cannot say the same for Hillary. You might say general polls at this point still don't mean anything, but these results have been consistent for a long while now. Make of it what you will.

2) Pie in the sky, my ass. You know most of what he's fighting for is actually a reality in many other countries.

3) FTR, Bernie is for gun control. But he doesn't want to do it in an unreasonable fashion where, for example, gun manufactuerers/sellers get punished for selling guns legally to people.

4) No matter how you look at it, there is a considerable difference in policies between Bernie and Hillary.

5) It's your opinion that Hillary is a better diplomat. I have not seen evidence for such.

6) Minor sidenote that often gets overlooked: Bernie is completely against fracking ... unlike Hillary.
