&gt; I&#x27;m not sure who you guys think you&#x27;re arguing against.<p>Sometimes I forget that hackernews has a slightly more intelligent user-base. Unfortunately, I participate on reddit as well, and there, political supporters have a slightly naive view of how politics and the government works (that&#x27;s putting it nicely). Sometimes I confuse the two websites.<p>&gt; So even in regards to your opinion your only real candidate is Bernie. He&#x27;s the only one talking about political revolution, which is what would be necessary for real change.<p>Well, real change means electing the right congressmen. To up-end our current republic, the first-past-the-post system, and to reform campaign finance requires electing senators who would do just that.<p>If Bernie wins the nomination, he&#x27;s definitely getting my vote. Unfortunately, that&#x27;s a near impossibility. And he also said he wouldn&#x27;t run against Hillary if she wins the nomination. Bernie recognizes the fact that he would damage the party and take votes away from Hillary if he runs as an independent. He&#x27;s a pragmatic &amp; logical man and understands that a Clinton presidency is orders of magnitude better for our country than a Bush or Trump presidency. It&#x27;s simply the lesser of all the evils.<p>And unless you run for office yourself, it&#x27;s always, <i>always</i> going to be choosing between the &quot;least evil&quot; because no candidate will represent your views 100% unless, again, you run yourself.
