      Okay...One of @mehdirhasan's tweets reminds me of something I've wanted to say for a while... I'm a Bernie supporter but will vote for *any* Democrat in November. It's not even a close call. I suspect a lot of--and maybe most--Bernie supporters feel the same.

      But the "Bernie or Bust" voters do get a lot of attention. And that mentality does not make sense to me. The idea that you could actually stay home in November if Bernie's not the nominee is profoundly inconsiderate and reckless.

      I'm busy teaching my 500 students per year so I haven't had the chance to follow this closely, but are there really a lot of Bernie supporters who are Bernie or Bust? I'd like to see some rigorous polling on this.

      I'm going to go even further and say something that most are unwilling to say: the gung-ho Trump supporters who stand by the monster occupying the White House without reservation are ill suited for a well functioning democracy.

      This leaves a slight opening for less condemnation of those who support Trump *with* reservations but even they deserve a lot of criticism.

      People who still support Trump at this point are impervious to reason and evidence. They only care about power and cannot be persuaded. Therefore, the only way to defeat them electorally is by mass organizing that overcomes all the advantages that the GOP has erected.

      Leftists, liberals, moderates, and the few sensible conservatives left ought to take stock of how the GOP has exercised so much power while representing way less than 50% of the population.

      They've coopted or undermined the institutions that give strength to liberals: labor unions and academia. They've usurped actors that once were "neutral" but which now protect conservatives: the courts, media, and government agencies.

      If liberals ever want to wield power in the same way that conservatives currently do, they must pursue a similar strategy; that is, go after and dismantle the institutions that feed conservatism: think tanks, media monopolies, and oil companies.

          You mean the types of companies that were once accurately called "merchants of death" according to a congressional committee in the 1930s don't exactly have a vested interest in making democracy work well? That can't be right. 😉
