    I think the vast majority of us are voting for democrats and will be. It seems to be a bad sign that instead of chiding the establishment about ignoring the will of the voters to force progressive candidates off the ballot in favor of their preferred corporate owned candidates Sanders has turned the other direction entirely and is now basically saying that even if the democrat party ignores the will of the voters whatever candidate they decide is best should get everyone’s full support.

    If the establishment is willing to ignore the will of the voters and do what they want instead then that’s already not a democracy. It would be like forcing a choice between corporate owned “democrats” who do what they’re paid to do and don’t care for the peasants at all or fascism. Sort of makes sense that there will be large numbers of people who select “Just fuck off then.”

      Kinda fucking scary the only way to get representation is to go brewsters millions style and write in candidates…
