Drive, neutral and reverse

Given the many critical issues that we are facing, Sanders will put our car in Drive. Clinton will put it in neutral, and any Republican will put it in reverse.

That's why I advocate supporting Clinton if she is the nominee, although I will work like hell to get the car in drive in the first place. If the car is in neutral, the banksters will be pushing it backwards, but if we have an effective mass movement (which, as Sanders keeps saying, is necessary no matter what) we can push it forward. Not ideal, but it beats the hell out of being slammed into reverse, perhaps permanently.
