Democratic Primaries

...hand, a complete fool will hold to the same ideas he or she has held since 1969, calling attention to what his or her opponents might have said or did 30 or 40 years ago, as if nothing has changed in those periods.

We have two people who insist that they are candidates for the Presidency who have not changed in any of their ideas since the 1960's.

One is Trump. The other is the similarly intellectually limited Senator from Vermont, who has been overwhelmingly rejected by the voters and still insists on attacking the only alternative to Trump.

Now, it happens that in the 1960's these people were not far from being children, and as a result, their "ideas" - if they can be called "ideas" rather than chants - bear a distinct mark of petulant childishness.

Most credible thinkers have the ability to move their ideology with the times. I note that Senator Obama ran for the Presidency in 2008 on a platform in support of coal for example. He certainly didn't push coal in his presidency.

The attack on the presumptive nominee offered in the OP here is silly and exploitative. There is no evidence that a complete "revolutionary" attack on the healthcare system would work any better. Were such an attack now underway, the situation would be even worse. It is easy and frankly, lazy to remark on what one would destroy, very different to find a workable system to construct. As Theodore Roosevelt remarked, "It is not the critic who counts..."

That awful person Senator Sanders is a great critic. He has no record of actually working to construct a healthcare system that could pass, whereas former Vice President Biden has practical experience in constructing a healthcare system - against great opposition - that actually was enacted.

Shove it.
