    Dawg I’m not trying to bring Trump to power. I’m trying to send a message that we’re not going to keep playing the game of the two parties putting forth their worst candidates and that if they’re not going to represent us, we can and will replace them.

    Replacing the Democrats with a further-left party sounds like a great idea. Pressuring the Democrats to move to the left sounds like a great idea.

    Failing to elect the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election will absolutely guarantee that both of those will become almost impossible for quite some time. If you didn’t like that Bernie Sanders got cheated out of the nomination, I bet you’ll be significantly more unhappy once he or anyone like him can get thrown in prison or shot in the head.

      I’m not a lefty. Moving the Democrats further left is not my goal. In fact, unless the Republicans are moving left with them, it’s against my goal. I don’t want to get my favorite policies in office, I want people to stop hating on each other so extremely just because they don’t sit on the same side of the fence. The two-party system has made this far too convenient for far too long.

        I don’t hate Republicans because they’re on the other side of the fence.

        I hate them because they’re trying to kill some of my friends and family.

        If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.
