Reply #20: You know as well as I do that nominating the less progressive candidate

[Ken Burch]

Has to make it harder to move the party to the left.

And doesn't it bother you that HRC would mean the DLC will rule the party forever?

Obama isn't as progressive as I'd like, but(unlike HRC)he at least respects progressives and activists, unlike HRC, who will make her administration a progressive and idealist-free zone.

Obama admits that idealists and activists matter. HRC hates all idealists and activists, and it goes without saying that if she campaigns against us know she'll have to govern against us.

That's why I had to go with Obama.

and it also goes without saying that you can't have a single humane value in your soul and talk about "obliterating" another country, especially since HRC knows we'd only kill innocent Iranian civilians(leaving the mullahs and Bad Beard Guy unscathed in their shelters).
