The End of the Dinosaurs

I originally published this back in August, but in light of Bernie's strong showing in the polls just three weeks before Iowa, I thought I'd put it up again. Go, Bernie!

Hillary is the biggest predatory dinosaur of all ... and she and all the other corporate dinosaurs are doomed.

Comet Sanders is going to usher out the old and bring a new political-biology to the nation!

What the fuck are sauropods doing in the cretaceous? Why are they in the water? Why doesn't the tyrannosaur have feathers? The K-T asteroid smacked the yucatan, which was seabed at the time, so why are land dinosaurs even looking at it?

So much wrong!

The sauropods were on a time-travel vacation and were enjoying a bubble bath. (Higher resolution monitors show the bubbles clearly.) And the Hillary tyrannosaur took off her feathers after they fared poorly in a focus group study.

Do I have to explain everything?!

Not sure if that's what you were going for.

Add to which, you know DLC hasn't been around for years, right?

Add to which, even if Sanders wins, why would advocates of more moderate policies disappear?

If Bernie manages to get enough kids to make even a bit of difference off their phones long enough to vote, it will be a mitzvah. And I mean that.

Turning the world to ash. Causing the suffering and deaths so badly, it only just begins to recover hundreds of thousands of years in the future...?

Yup. Sounds about right. Nominee Sanders = President Trump.

socialist in the sense of communism. He is a socialist in the best sense and probably more like the Liberal party in Canada.

it is the average voter I'm concerned about who start to shake when they hear words like liberal and social.

They aren't the same thing, except in the uneducated minds of the Trump and Cruz followers. They probably have no idea what Communism is either.

I'm not implying anything other than to answer someone who obviously has no idea what Socialism is.
