4. You want pragmatic politics, vote for Sanders and do *not* vote for Clinton in the primaries.

Sanders is a great campaigner who is in tune with the voters. Clinton is *still* a poor campaigner who is beholden to her billionaire donors.

  • Pragmatism is voting for the guy who is polling better against Trump than Clinton is.

  • Pragmatism is voting for the guy who isn't going to be protecting corrupt sychophants like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Rahm Emmanuel and other corrupt pro-Wall Street appointees.

  • Pragmatism is voting for the guy who plans to USE his grassroots, once in the presidency, instead of disbanding it, as soon as he takes office.

  • Pragmatism is voting for the guy who has a plan to work towards progressive Democratic majorities, rather than insisting that we are going to have a Republican Congress to work against/with for the entirety of the next Presidency.
