2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI used to support Sanders. But I've changed...
Now I REALLY REALLY support Sanders....More than ever.
My own belief that what Sanders represents is much needed to shake out the cobwebs has intensified as his opponent and the Stale Democrat Establishment show their true selves and resistance to meaningful change. And the tepid defeatist put-downs of Liberalism and Progressive Reform. "Forget that Hope and Change shit. Just vote for Clinton because....Well just because."
More of the same old Conservative Corporate Crap? Thanks but no thanks.

(6,282 posts)I trust him 1000x more than Clinton to make appropriate use of executive powers to benefit the American people. This includes civil liberties (free speech, domestic surveillance, whistleblowers) and foreign policy.
There simply is very little reason for a left-leaning liberal to prefer Clinton. I do not share her fundamental values.

If elected she will re-energize the GOP to oppose her, and she will not have the overall credibility to rally the larger population for much of anything.
Meanwhile the behind the scenes theft of government by the Wealthy and Powerful will continue unabated.

(39,961 posts)I'll vote for the nominee (though if it is Hillary that support grows more grudging every day).
