I also thought your analogy sucked - we are in total agreement here.

Some people see it that way.

Other people see it as two pancakes and a piece of ****, and people telling you if they can’t have the pancake they want, they’ll just take the ****.

Heh - okay, if Bernie isn’t left enough for you, I understand why you are looking outside the Dems. My comments are geared towards people that love one and hate the other.

whoops, I was seeing red from another comment.

Hillary and Bernie voted together 93% of the time - without procedural crap it was more like 96% of the time. If she is the fascist corporate Republican you say she is, Bernie has a lot of explaining to do about how he could vote so closely to a fascist corporate Republican.

Except for the fact that I said exactly what you seem to be arguing, you make a good point.

This is a lazy black and white claim like so many.

“Demanding a candidate who represents your interests is for the rich; everybody else has to take what the process gives them; therefore you should vote for me.”

Was this in the text of the tweet?

You are reading it that way - I am reading it as “we have a lot more in common than you think - don’t disregard me because we don’t match perfectly”.

Again, the one time she and Bernie were in the same situation, they voted so very alike, yet we consider one a revolutionary and the other a status quo downer.

It was an example specifically relevant to Susan Sarandon - you are right, plenty of voting numbers blame to go around if you got the opposite of what you really wanted.

Jesus God. She and Bernie voted together 93% of the time, and if you get rid of procedural crap more than 96% of the time. If she is bought and paid for and her votes are so damn skewed, then what is his excuse - he just arrived at those votes all by himself?

He’s got to act like they are desperately different because…

The Nader voters are the real heroes of the 2000 election, because they stuck by their beliefs and helped elect a man who made everything they believed in worse?

Explain how the process doesn’t represent ‘us’ - you don’t like Hillary but more people have voted for her than Bernie - would the process represent us better…
