Yes we are in such dire need for Hillary Clinton’s protection against the likes of Donald Trump, just as we so needed to support her against a “vast right-wing conspiracy” during the 1990s. The fact of the matter is that she is no different from Trump except that she doesn’t lash out at each and every critic like Trump. Instead she meticulously mobilizes her “mob” to secretly launch preemptive attacks against those she regards as a threat, like Bernie Sanders. This might sound a bit extreme but I don’t think we’re too far away from the futuristic society depicted in the film “Running Man,” in which people who are deemed an enemy of the state are used as entertainment as they run through an underworld gauntlet being attacked by despicable characters who are viewed as celebrities by brainwashed people who succumb to their baser instincts addicted to a reality television gladiator game show. Thanks for the realty check!

“NEITHER Trump NOR Clinton is an acceptable choice. Neither will avert our impending doom. Revolution, if necessary, ACTUAL REVOLUTION, in which the existing government is abruptly removed from power, will soon be all we have left.”

Our impending doom? Care to explain what that may be? I know we have problems but you don’t get to throw out something like America’s inevitable (b/c it is going to be either Clinton or Trump) “doom” without explaining just what that means!

I heard a lot of arguments like this in 2000. Gore is no better than Bush, they said. No difference between the two parties, the said. Truth is, Gore probably would not have f’d things up half as bad as Bush. Thanks Nader voters!

You misquoted him so your entire argument falls apart.

You claimed he said: ”not to listen to me if I ever tried to tell you who to vote for“

In fact, he said: “We’re not a movement where I can snap my fingers and say to you or anybody else what you should do ’cause you won’t listen to me -you shouldn’t. Now you make these decisions yourself.”

In CONTEXT, he was saying he wouldn’t try to tell everyone what to do and if he id, people should rightfully ignore him. He never said “If I advise you to do something, do the exact opposite,” but rather “make these decisions yourself.” You can take Bernie’s advice or not, but that’s not telling you to reject his advice, but only to ignore commands from on high.

Sanders may or may not agree with your assessment of how to overturn BUckley, but most people don’t care, or at least not directly.

The Wolf PAC is attempting to address such issues via a constitutional convention, which risks the Moral Majority co-opting it to overturn Roe vs Wade, and that is something devoutly to be feared because they wouldn’t stop with Roe v Wade, I am certain.
