I don’t want to get involved in the official Bernie thread any more than I have, so I’ll put this here.
My political position is roughly Communalism. I am not going to get that from any candidate in any party (I think Vermin Supreme is the closest, and he won’t win) so I will have to compromise when I support someone. That said, there are three critical issues that I think need to be dealt with which are so entangled that they all have to be fought at once
- Climate change / environmental damage
- The rise of the far right / attacks on civil rights
- Increasing economic inequality
I will support any candidate who will actually do something to stop all three. Third way liberalism has already failed to fight these issues and I have little expectation that they will change.
If the election is between a third way Democrat and Trump then obviously vote for the Democrat.
However, once they are elected they will need to be fought every day for the next four years.
