38. Unfortunately, extremists and other types of zealots

care enormously. They don't care about the things 9 out of 10 people do. But they do care so much about what they want, and believe in its great virtue, that nothing else matters. Including the 9 out of 10 they're doing their best to smash out of their way, even as they prate about representing "the people."

I believe we have excellent reason to believe Sanders would be perfectly willing to repeat 2016, and is still on track. As some posts here always show, Democrats are the main focus of his and his most devoted followers' blame and enmity, their big obstacle, not the Republicans.

They're now desperately looking -- and waiting -- for a bomb they can still use to blow us up. And we know the Republicans are even more desperate, and Russia's kleptocracy extremely concerned about their own survival.

It's not over until it's over.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
