"How does that make sense?"

You don't get this country at all. You complain about the right wing, but you don't seem to realize they live here, and they prevent us from being like the other Western democracies. We're very very different from the Europeans. We've got a population with crazy religious beliefs. They're so in love with weapons they can't see straight. Our electorate is not going to turn socialist. They're not even going to turn left. If we are lucky we can make centrist.

I've always felt the dreamers of the world sell us non-existent timeshares built of rainbows and gumdrops. That's why I really don't like Bernie. I know he thinks we've got trouble, right here in River City- but like Trump, I don't think he's capable of doing anything real about it. Give me someone who is a practical doer any old day. That's just my opinion, of course. I don't see much salutary in hot air and sanctimony.
