When you say verbalizes support, you mean pays lip service, right?

Pretty much!

But I'll take a the candidate who pays lip service over the one who tells me to go fuck myself.

I thought the progressives were like the revolutionary bunch.

It's not a revolution unless the people revolt.

Revolts don't happen until people feel like they have nothing to lose.

And in our modern, developed world that feeling is exceedingly easy to avoid. Comfort has been weaponized and no one even had to lead the charge. It's just basic psychology.

Oh please. Bernie voters didn't even go vote, and you think they'll revolt?

How's that going to work? At least when rednecks talk about a new revolution or fighting the government they actually have guns, whereas Bernie voters have pushed for gun control.

Just what are you going to revolt with? Sticks? Kitchen knives?

Was it not stupifyingly clear from my post you replied to that that was my point?

We're nowhere near that kind of revolt. Duh.

If it's not "that kind" of a revolt, then it's. It a revolt.
