A lot of the real battles nowadays are being fought and won at the state level or lower. Congress being what it is, national politics are a dead end for getting anything progressive done for the next several years at least.

This is true (though I think in large part due to the massive gains that have been at the state level over the last few years).

And all the more reason to vote Bernie--can you imagine what sort of SCOTUS appointments he would make? :allears:

I hear Bernie challenged Milton Friedman to fight while at Univ.Of Chicago. Friedman chickened out and fled to South America because he was so scared of the Sandman putting him to sleep. Permanently.

Hillary going basically unopposed by the left and cruising into a coronation would cause some problems, a lot of people would split off and go third party or not vote at all. It would be similar to 2000. Especially if the Republicans pick someone that isn't immediately identifiable as a crazy person, like Jeb for example.

Hillary's not going to let us voters gently caress this up for her. If the left needs a nod before they get scorned and ignored for 8 years, Hillary is willing to let that nod be the symbolic and non-threatening candidacy of Bernie Sanders.

so what you are saying is bernie will make everyone feel better about electing another rightwing democrat to gently caress america for another 4 years

Most of the problems in the world today are due to overpopulation; if we suddenly had a thousandth of the population most of those problems would disappear. Admittedly the near-term poisoning of the atmosphere and loss of biodiversity would present significant challenges, but the best road forward for humanity and the health of the planet may be a nuclear holocaust or other mass extinction event. All I'm saying is maybe it'd be like burning a forest every once in a while so it can start anew, maybe it'd work out okay. :shrug:

This statement, and its various extrapolations, are inherently false. What you perceive as 'over-population' is the operation of the capitalist system, wherein vulnerability and poverty are essential resources for the maintenance of marginal production advantages. If 9/10 of the world's population disappeared, there would be widespread ecological destruction as existing infrastructure and hazardous containment facilities degraded. The global food system would collapse, as would all international trade. The 'problems' you see are inherent in the current arrangement, and have nothing to do with the sheer number of human beings involved. If this were so, we wouldn't have had all the same problems at the beginning of the century (even if we didn't know about them), when the population was halved. Likewise, other civilizations wouldn't have had them, when their populations were fractions of today's number.

We have enough food, water, electricity, and walls to house and maintain the health of everyone. We choose not to so that people can wear sweatpants in Starbucks while staring at cat videos on their watches, and CEOs can crash yachts for fun. The very concept of overpopulation is a fatalistic forfeit in the struggle for social justice and human decency, and an accession to the defamatory claims of the current power structure towards those who exist in penury to serve their whim.

As such, I am burnin for Bernie.

Edit: We also have the technology to maintain current population levels in a sustainable fashion, if significant shifts in production and distribution of goods - primarily food - were to occur. Thus it is perhaps better to think of our current problems not as ones of 'over' population, but of populations unable to successfully access available avenues for adaptation and systemic re-organization.
