(2,900 posts)A pony is not going to win in a two round tournament with thoroughbreds. Why would you invest the future of your country in a candidate that is only going to get 35 percent of the vote? We tried that with McGovern, and we got Nixon. Some tried that with Ralph Nader in 2000, and we got Bush. We have a responsibility to the rest of the nation to compromise to prevent the worst. The person with the most electoral votes controls the executive branch for the next four years and makes the appointments. Obama has been a mixed bag, a compromise, but one that is far better for us than McCain or Romney would have been.
By all means, advocate and vote for Bernie Sanders, but please don't allow a repeat of Nixon/McGovern. We don't want another Nixon.
