(8 posts)This scare tactic doesn't work anymore because we HAVE ALREADY reached the point where we can't get a real progressive in office.
We're there already, Cochese. The boogieman is here already.
We have a choice between the status quo in Clinton, who is already a moderate Republican and pantsuit deep in money from the people who have turn the country into a Plutocracy, and Donald Trump. At least with Trump, we can let the right go full derp off the cliff and...establishment Republicans seem to be just as terrified of him as establishment Democrats are of Sanders.
The real problem is that the two party system means that we're locked into what the powers at be want us to have, because it's completely rigged to keeping the establishment in place. Until and unless we can blow up the system as it is, nothing is really going to get better.
