(9,823 posts)This 2016 cycle is different from all others, including 2008. "Yes we can" turned out to be a slogan, and we are far beyond slogans now.
The candidacy of Bernie Sanders is different IN KIND, not degree, from that of Hillary Clinton. Your musings about working with this one and meeting with that one, as if to tell us you really "know" both candidates, are negated by the fact that you don't seem to understand how different is the democratic process Bernie is calling for. It's a different universe, and we may not be able to attain it. But for you, and others, and the media, to treat this contest in such a consumerist way shows that you don't understand the fundamental dynamic here.
By the way, although you don't live or die by what DUers think of you, our grandchildren will live or die by the outcome of this primary.
