Beyond the blue bubble. Bernie promises pie in the sky stuff w/o any viable way of making it happen. And now the new bernie talking point is we should just be glad he's talking the talk. Nevermind that he can't walk the walk. Even if Bloomberg is Republican light, I'll take it bc he's prochoice, wants to take us back to the Paris treaty, pro gun reform, etc. Is he the most progressive candidate? No. Is he perfect? No. But I don't care about perfection. He has the means and the machine to beat trump. I'm almost there. Just waiting to see how super tuesday pans out.

This is the quadrennial Democratic silly season. Every four years Democrats go completely crazy, lose all contact with reality and civility, and try to decide on a Democratic candidate for president. The actual "growing up" will come shortly after the next Democratic President is inaugurated. For Star Trek aficionados it very closely resembles Spock's "Amok Time".
