Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Biden is BY FAR the superior choice.
Unilateral surrender is not a solution. Abandoning the playing field to far-right fascist oligarchs is not going to help matters.
Chris Hedges means well but is espousing a classic case of letting the perfect get in the way of the good.
For him to claim Noam Chomsky just doesn't get it is hilarious.

@ToolGuy I know his record...far from perfect...still highly preferable...and you not voting for him will not have a beneficial affect.
The reason Democratic candidates have been pushed so far to the right is because left-leaning candidates are not getting enough votes! Leftists don't vote in sufficient numbers to affect the outcome.
Instead of blaming the candidates themselves, for screwing each other over and freezing out people like Sanders, BLAME THE VOTERS for not showing up and thereby handing elections to moderate, middle-of-the-road, or even right-leaning types like Biden.
@ToolGuy Oligarchs didn't "dump" them. Regardless of your opinion, Biden got the most votes and won fairly based on the party's rules, which were in place long before the electoral process ever began.
You are DELUSIONAL if you place the 'blame' for the result anywhere other than where it belongs: with all those people who DIDN'T vote for Sanders, Warren, and all the other very worthy candidates who fell short.
DEAL WITH IT.
It's weird how Noam just doesn't get it on this issue.
