Choose Your Political Dementia

For a second, for a spit second, I thought that maybe... just maybe, I could, after almost 65 years of holding my nose and picking the least malodorous, finally vote for a person I actually believed in- someone who thought about, believed in and fought for the same things near and dear to me! That hope is not quite quashed as of yet, but has faded considerably as we are now being handed yet another doddering, bumbling fool to replace another... Funny, real funny, how two of the more mainstream candidates dropped out the very night BEFORE "Super Tuesday," only to cast their support for their main competitor- helluva 'coincidence!' How many times does that happen!?!?!? Huh?

Rrriinng... "Listen: You're smart, you're young, you got a future in this party, and this party wants you and can give the support you'll need in that future- and all we're asking is to support our one, true Democratic candidate; everyone benefits! Or, cast your lot with Whacky Bernie in the corner over there. Now, what's it gonna be?"

Meanwhile, boots on the ground Democrats are being dutifully reminded that such an off base figure as Bernie Sanders cannot possibly beat our current POTUS (despite three plus years of barely surviving his admittedly impossible victory). Yet again, we are told that in order to WIN we need someone: less strident, less controversial, more middle of the road- like... Goddamn-Fuckin'-Hillary! 

Democrats- the party that never learns.
