News From The Land Of DUH.

Am I supposed to give her a gold star for finally figuring simple shit out?

Kohn's whole "Holy cow, when did this happen?" routine isn't fooling me.

Holy cow! Water is wet.

This is what she's basing her support on:

"I happen to think that Senator Sanders is 100 percent realistic about his goals for our nation."

Really! 100% realistic goals. Oh how I wish.

Yes, his lofty goal are wonderful and they are just that; GOALS!

We would all like to live in a land of milk and honey,
where there are no wars,
where the body of a 4 year old refugee boy doesn't wash up on the beach,
where there is a decent livable minimum wage of at least $15,
where parents can earn enough money to put food on the table and a roof over the heads of their kids,
where there is no racial, sexual orientation, or religious discrimination,
where the top 1% to 10% of the population doesn't have more wealth than the the bottom 90%
where kids can go to a state university to get a degree and graduate without a mountain of debt
where our infrastructure and transportation systems are as up to date, modern and efficient as those in other developed countries,
where our kids can go to school and we don't have to worry about some monster shooting them all to death,
where for that matter, you can go shopping in Walmart, or go to your workplace and not get shot by some crazy with a gun,
where everyone has access to good healthcare and not have to mortgage their home or spend all their retirement savings for that care,
where there are free and open elections, where everyone gets to vote, with no gerrymandering of districts, no voter id laws that disenfranchise a segment of our communities.

Yes, those are my goals, but what are goals and what can be accomplished in hopefully a 8 year term are two totally different aspirations. Hillary knows what she can get accomplished, she knows how to work and collaborate to get effective change. Will all the goals be met, hell no, but she will put us on a path so that maybe someday, in my life time those goals will be reached.

I do not have the same confidence that Bernie Sanders has the patience, finesse, political skills or experience to accomplish his promises.

But that still wouldn't have made it realistic.

that if you look at her twitter post about the article, the people who seem most angry with her are Bernie fans. They're attacking her for exactly what she talked about in her article.

One Bernie fan posted this: "thx for the endorsement. But u'll find out how "welcoming" H supporters are now that ur for Bernie. True colors." BUT when you look at the other replies, most of the Hillary fans are saying they appreciate what she wrote, even if she's backing a different candidate.


ETA: forgot to post the link to her twitter post: https://twitter.com/sallykohn/status/722095662695886848

She'll be supporting Hillary soon.
