2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFor me it all comes down to this one thing: A President Sanders would be a breath of FRESH AIR!
Obama was exciting in a symbolic way, but it was clear early on that he didn't really want to rock the boat politically.
Sanders on the other hand, he wants to shake things up politically! With Sanders, there's a chance for real reform of our political system. No guarantees, but a real chance. And that is truly exciting - a real breath of fresh air. For me, that beats any symbolic victory a Clinton Presidency would represent. For me, the choice is clear. I hope you will feel the same way too.

That way we don't have to hold our noses- should the DNC vents stay closed?

This is my once-in-a-lifetime chance to give my vote to a candidate who went into public service for all the right reasons.
He could be the FDR of our time -- I'm not going to squander this precious opportunity.
And to all the young people who enthusiastically support Bernie Sanders: You are wise beyond your years & I am impressed that you get it at so young an age. You give me hope for this country's future.

On the other hand it takes some people a lot less time.
