> More talking head bullshit. What are the candidates’ policies? What is the evidence that he or she will attempt to follow through on those policies? Those are the only questions that matter. Everything else is a distraction. We know what Sanders’ policies are, we know he has a long history of advancing those policies, and we know he’s not taking any money from anyone with vested interests that go against those policies.

Long does not mean distinguished in the slightest. And you forgot the most important question: will he be able to get things done?

Sorry, you don’t get to define what the election is about.

Yep. And I do think there is a very good argument to be made that Clinton has been more honest in this election - especially when it comes to considering how to get proposed policies passed (answering that question with “political revolution” doesn’t appear too honest to me - or if it actually is a candidate’s honest policy, then its dangerously naive).
