As for my vote, as I stated, I want to contribute to the Democratic landslide in the popular vote. As for "Reagans," your boy Ronnie never impressed me. As usual you either missed the point or you intentionally ignored it. Reagan won Mass in 80 and 84. He won Maryland in 84 too. Since then Md and Mass have been solid blue and a few more GOP votes or a few less dem votes were not going to change that. As for the political system, are you saying that you like the EC now or are you just trolling again? The popular vote is actually irrelevant. Once a candidate wins a state, the rest of the votes there are pretty much wasted. Gosh, you took civics in high school or read an article. I know what the "popular vote" is and what it means. I also know a landslide in the popular vote can have meaning politically, and it can also help elect downticket candidates. You are confusing popular vote with voter turnout. I take a lot of care in who I vote for in the state and local elections where the popular vote actually means something but the circus that the presidency has become does not really merit that much thought. Most states are decided long before the first vote is cast and the fact that Maryland, Massachusetts or California goes democrat 90% or 50%+1 is just gee whiz information. I have only voted in one race in 68 years where my vote would even show up and if I had voted for Bush in 2000 it would have been 538 votes instead of 537 |

He isn't even as much of a socialist as some of my socialist friends, Mr. PoliSci. Who? Karl Marx and Fidel Castro? If you read the classical definition of Communism, Bernie fits it just fine. He wants to redistribute wealth, have the government establish wages, he thinks the government should control the means of production and has even suggested nationalizing businesses. |

My lawyer friend is also a Democratic Socialist and he and I often discussed what it means and what the differences are as compared to "socialism" and "communism." Bernie is neither a socialist or a communist. |

No, I am not, Dr. PoliSci Brain fart. I notice you didn't bother to see what I meant or post the rest of the message. |
