Lets see, you have a Soviet believer as an option and an oligarch who places himself and his values above all in importance as an option. Are you cool with that? I'm cool with it because that seem to be your choices? You can pick your poison and determine your own fate at this point. I figure half the country has already decided that its moving on without the Progressives at this point. The Progressives haven't come to grips with that yet. So, do we really need win a nasty war with Progressives to make sure that happens or are you and every other liberal smart enough to go along and allow that to happen at this point. I'm sure the Progressives will have enough crumbs to keep you alive for a while but I can't guarantee whatever crumbs you get won't be taken away by some foreigner who is viewed as being more valuable or more preferential than you.
Whatever I am not a Marxist-Leninist. I now consider Soviet ideology failed and obsolete. But so is yours.

I mean they didn't love the Bosnian's enough or the Jews or the Assyrians enough but I'm sure they'll love you enough because you are way more important to them than any of those people. Once we are separated, what you decide is best for and the country you end up with isn't going to matter to us. I mean, who knows you might end up living in Obamagrad or the former American city of Chicago or the nation of Bloomberg with Bloomberg deciding what's best for you or god forbid the Peoples Republic of California or some Islamic State that gives itself the power to round up and behead infidels. Yes, this sounds pretty fucked up but that's what happens when fucked up people give fucked up people power. Yes, you can point at Trump and criticize him about this or that and accuse him of being this or that as I point to your people and ask you about them and ask you why you're supporting people who represent ideologies and power mongers that you claim to hate and often claim to fear the most these days.
I have my virtues, and those should be good enough for survival.
