People threw Republicans out en masse in 2008 and delivered us a Democratic President and Congress for 2 years and then left the door wide open for Republicans to foist the Tea Party whackadoodles on us and we've been dealing with them ever since. It's not even clear that Bernie, if elected, is going to have even 2 years of a Democratic Congress to advance his goals, let alone even get them looked at. Then what? What are people suddenly going to do now that they haven't (but should have) been doing for the last 5 years of Obama's Presidency?
