I can't imagine the third party that I would spend a vote on.

I also can't imagine being interested in loyalty pledge drive #8,239.

I frequently had to stop reading because I was laughing too hard to focus.

I've read it at least 10 times since and have come to see how really dark it is. The best anti-war novel ever written.

For a long period, I read it every year. One of America's greatest novels, imo.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson

There is no way I want a clone of Scalia or Alito deciding who can vote, what a woman can do with her own body, or if it's OK for a rogue cop to kill anyone he wants with total impunity.

With Sanders, O'Malley or Clinton, we get new justices like Bader-Ginsburg and Breyer. With a Republican president, we get the likes of Clarence Thomas, Nino Scalia, John Roberts and Sam Alito.

That may not be a no-brainer for everyone, but it's enough of one for me.

If you show usernames and check on who it is who say that they are Bernie supporters that won't vote for the nominee, it will be obvious what is going on here.


Typical behavior from exactly who you would expect it from.
