[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is the basic flaw in logic I see with many of Sanders' supporters. If the problem is money in politics, a near-oligarchy of big money and special interests, which was caused in large part (or at least greatly facilitated) by the Citizens United decision, then why don't Sanders' supporters think through how that decision came about. That decision is due to Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court. Republican presidents can do a lot of damage-- especially the lunatics leading the pack in this election. If you're so concerned about maintaining our democracy and protecting the social safety-net, why is defeating the Republican candidate not THE most important thing? The Supreme Court is almost evenly divided now, what would happen with another conservative justice? What would happen with a Republican-controlled Congress and president? If you think things are bad now, just wait and see. Democrats need to be much more pragmatic and strategic or else we are truly going to hell in a hand-basket. [/quote] Who said defeating Republicans wasn't a priority? Don't you think Democrats mobilizing on GOTV and pushing like hell to get Democrats elected is somehow inconsistent or incompatible or mutually exclusive to what Sanders supporters want? Don't you think that's something that grassroots Democrats need to be doing REGARDLESS of who gets the nomination? Don't you think Democrats ought to be fighting like hell to get Republicans thrown out of Congress and for Democrats to retake it? So why this armchair-sitting-back and tongue-clicking at Sanders supporters? You are doing yourself and Democrats a disservice.[/quote]
