Yep. Still won’t vote for Clinton. There are no circumstances under which that would happen. I’d sooner vote for Chelsea.

Agreed. It is in terms of her thinking this was going to be easy, and it turning into an actually struggle for her. I suspect that the SC primary will be a bigger deal, since it’s winner takes all (I think).

I hear you. I had a similar conversation with my grandmother about Nader.
She was to my right … slightly. But she also did not want to see Roe jeopardized.
That was before Alito and Roberts were appointed. Before Citizens United.
I’d say before the dark times … before the empire. Except we were already in the Reagan Coalition soup by that time. So … not before the dark times.
Anyway … J. Scalia left a vacant seat. I’ve been waiting since 1986 …
I voted against Gore. It was a principled stand. His Occidental holdings proved his talk was hot air on the environment, back then. And his support for the Colombian military, which guarded the occidental pipelines among other things, did not sit at all well with me. Also, the DLC set the party back in too many ways to list here, and I am not interested in seeing her as the de facto head of the party. I think she is a corporatist stooge. I’d rather just see a corporatist in the job than a puppet.

Democrats allocate all other [non-super] delegates proportionally by state.

I respect when people say this though it sounds to me more like ethics than politics.
How does Sanders do vs. Clinton in the states that the Democrats will win? i.e. she’ll win in SC, but she won’t win it against the Republicans, so who cares?

The real politik is the inverse of ethics?

If ethics were more common, we’d call them politics.

Realpolitik? Yuck! No. Don’t be gross.
So social politics are not inclusive of ethics?
