CNN National Poll: Clinton 51% Sanders: 43%

On the Democratic side, 51% say Clinton is their top choice for the nomination, 43% Sanders, that's about the same as in March. And enthusiasm for a Clinton candidacy has grown as her chances of winning enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee have increased. In the new poll, 41% say they would be enthusiastic about her candidacy, up from 34% in March.

He said so himself, and saints can't lie. They're like Vulcans in that regard.

The truly disgusting part about Bernie's contested convention aspirations is how he thinks he's entitled to override the will of POC/women.

The only people who count are the minority who agree with him. All others, even if they constitute the majority, are "undemocratic."

Seems odd and contradictory to me to believe that democracy means rule by a minority of people who believe a certain Bernie way.

It sounds more like an autocracy or authoritarian form of government.

It is so tempting to try to force people to do what you "know" is best for them.

So you bully people, rather than persuade them through give and take dialogue.

Authoritarian personalities using authoritarian methods.

Democracy is not just a form of government. It is a state of mind, a way of life, an attitude of egalitarian respect and dialogue.

The same is true of authoritarianism. It too is a state of mind and a way of life, but it is characterized by hierarchical structures of commanding and obeying, superior and inferior, those who know "what is right" and everyone else.

The one true enemy of democracy is authoritarianism, whether in politics, religion, business, society, or in one's own habits of thinking and acting.

Capitalism and socialism are really economic arrangements, not political or social arrangements. Even business can be democratically structured.

To my mind, both Sanders and Trump are authoritarians. I don't see Hillary that way at all.
