Hilary all the way.

My biggest gripe with Sanders (apart from his age) is that he's unrealistic. You can only move so far, so fast. Having unrealistic goals is the same thing as having no plan.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Drastic times call for drastic measures, and this country is in really bad shape.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Well, as we all know, the country hit the shitter a while back, and we can either do something new or do more of the same. With Hilary, you'll just get more of the same and a plan that goes to the highest bidder. Bernie may have goals that will see strong opposition, but at least you'll get someone that isn't for sale.

My fear is that it's all moot anyway. The Republican party has become the party of whiners that threaten gridlock every time they don't get their way, and it's hard to get any legislating done when one party of a two-party system is too immature to sit at the adult table. I think it won't really matter who the Democratic nominee is, because if whoever it is wins, we'll just see more stagnation and petty bickering from the right. It's like our choices are to be overrun by conservative bullshit or have a government that barely functions.

That is a concern. What's to keep them from just shutting down the government, or crowding legislation with bills to shut down whatever Bernie tries to do? What's to keep them from repeating what they've done while Obama has been here?

If Bernie gets the office, I think it's fair to say there will be enough people voting to fix the Senate and the House as well.

I don't know. Hadn't really thought that far into it yet.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

And if he chooses Warren as his running partner, you might not have to worry too much about his age.
