I just want to know who to support in the Democratic primary.

Time's a wasting. I hope we have a candidate soon.

5. What does it matter? Corporatists' hatred will slime them to death, whoever it is
   
There are dozens of sane, functional, progressive Democratic politicians out there doing good work, and have been for decades. Yet a mention of any of them as presidential candidate produces not even laughter, but hatred - extremely personal hatred - from a surprising number of middle-of-the-road folks.

Personally I don't understand it. I can understand hatred for an utter slimeball like Santorum, and for a traitor or double agent, but there are only a few politicians that arouse real hatred in me, and they are all radical right-wingers - none are anywhere NEAR my own values.

12. Whoever it is, they'll get my vote.
   
If nobody runs, I'll write somebody in.


Are the mods even working tonight?

No body.
Even they don't like to lose.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
