>Let's not make this a discussion about Bernie, though. I recognize he is not perfect, and I'm not even 100% certain he would make a good President. I'm a Bernie supporter too, but I recognize this too, but the thing is, thanks to our crappy political system, he doesn't need to be a "good President", he just needs to be the least bad one. I don't worry about just how great a President he could be: I just know that with any of the other three in office, it's going to be somewhere between terrible and a complete disaster. With Bernie, I don't think he'll be terrible, and that's good enough for me. But yeah, I'm hopeful: I think the issues he's raising do deserve a much larger hearing and I think the only way we're going to do that is by electing him. The establishment politicians don't want to raise those issues and at best want to give them a little lip service while dismissing them as "not politically feasible at this time".
