2. You are so right

Some people act as if Bloomberg is a perfect swap for Biden. So wrong and misguided on so many levels. And what about the gutless culinary union? Biden is a good friend of ours and Sanders plan for Medicare for all is wrong, but we're not endorsing. How lame is that?

Here's my question: when we reject all lifelong true card carrying democrats to nominate an "progressive" independent candidate (a democratic socialist, not a democrat) or a republican turned democrat with a history of racist and mysogenistic comments, and in some cases, policies, and lose spectacularly, how will we learn to live with a dark red SCOTUS, a march toward oligarchy, no checks and balances and the end of the rule of law where the courts and prosecutors will no longer protect us.

Here's my question to our ultra progressive brethren who say Trump is so unpopular that this is exactly the time to go hard left and drag the middle along kicking and screaming:

What if you stage your revolution and no one wants to enlist?

I will vote this November, rather than cop out like some of our snow flake brethren who couldn't stand to see anyone but their candidate nominated in 2016 . I will vote for my neighbor's dog rather than sit it out. But that's just me. Don't count on independents or never trumpers to go our way and we need them.
