How many African Americans does Bernie have on his staff in Vermont?

28. Nothing but the best for the oppressed, right?

Why don't you ask how many left-handed LGBT Lithuanians there are on his staff while you're at it?

Sheesh, stop looking for perfectionism in a candidate, OK? Stop this dumb numbers game.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good-enough-for-the-time-being.

Politics is about WINNING. Period.

And if my word isn't good enough for you, let the late great Doris "Granny D" Haddock, from the neighboring state of New Hampshire speak here:

There are many among us on the peace trail who will not support a candidate unless that candidate is perfect on every issue.
Politics is about winning.
For us, it is about winning to save lives and raise people up from poverty and illness and loneliness and injustice.
Those posturing on the left sometimes forget that. Don't tell me that you can't support a particular candidate because of this or that. This isn't about you and your precious political standards. It is about saving nature and our people.
We are coming out to win, so please don't stand in our way.
When we have reasonable people in power, let us start our arguments again, for we can not move forward unless we have a decent government underneath us and a Bill of Rights to let us speak freely.

Ok, end of rant.
