Dear Bernie-or-Bust people:
I know in your mind you think "Well, hell, if Trump wins I just wait 4 years and I get to vote for Elizabeth Warren. So f@ck it I'm taking my marbles and going home."
A trump victory + Republican control of the Senate + Notorious RBG retirement = 6-3 Conservative majority on the Supreme Court. It doesn't f@cking matter at that point if Elizabeth Warren runs and gets elected. At that point all progressive progress is set back DECADES because a Supreme Court with that composition would strike down any progressive laws that got passed. The Rs at that point would gleefully challenge any law they don't like specifically to get it up to the Supreme Court and overturned.
Every time I read an article that says "33% of Bernie supporters refuse to vote for Hillary" I have to ask myself: "Do they understand how our government works?!" Because clearly they don't. Think long and hard about that.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful. And I WILL vote for Bernie if he wins. But I continue be amazed at some of the short-sighted thinking I read here on the rec list (when I dare to poke around).
