(18,397 posts)that was better for the country than the Democratic party presidential candidate?
If you can mention one in the last half-century, I definitely DON'T want whatever YOU'RE taking.
It's not a matter of not thinking about issues. (By the way, thanks for the insult, cowboy.) It's a matter of knowing when to fight which issues.
By the time you get to the GE it's too late to deal with all that other stuff you mention. In almost all cases, in the GE you have a binary choice. That's it. You want to work on that other stuff? (Which is important, by the way.) You have to work on that IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION. (And in other, non electoral ways ... but that's really hard work.)
Wake the eff up, smell the coffee, and figure out how the world works and how US elections work. If you want to be effective in making progressive change, you need to do that.
Or if you want to keep playing victim, then don't bother.
