Marv, I seriously do not grasp what the hell you are talking about here. Could you restate it in plain American that cats & dogs can understand.
[Note: Let's assume that Congress would bow to Sanders's deepest wishes -- remembering that, as far as I can tell, those wishes include (with minor variations) the continuation of current U.S. foreign policy (with all the military obligations that policy entails). Would it be possible for Sanders even to begin to satisfy the hopes he has raised among his supporters?] Serious believers that Sanders could transform the conditions of u.s. life have little reason to mock the foolish ness of some undergraduates of some Washington university.

Louis, in the name of Debs, would say your Sanders supporter would be wasting her vote. She should instead be throwing her support to Green candidate Jill Stein. I'd put greater odds of your friend engaging with your question than wanting to pursue his tortured rationale for the Green Party. Louis puts great store on the Democratic label and history (as though the Greens would somehow behave differently than other left-centre parties if they came close to vying for government) while disdaining the unfolding political differentiation within and around the party and the opportunities it presents to consistently provide the kind of opening you describe. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
