I'm sort of lost for words as to how you get to that point, so an example probably does it better This has been put a variety of ways, but to sum up Bernie supporters and your thought of "If I were American I'd vote for Trump"...
You go to a bar. You want Budweiser, badly. But the bar is out of Budweiser. The bar does, however, have Bud Light. Yeah it's not as good and you have to drink 4 extra beers just to get as drunk, but it's pretty close. You, however, decide that you'd rather drink bleach instead. Sort of extreme and over the top, and totally not understandable....but at least you made your point? Whatever it was?
I'm not trying to hound you, I'm just trying to understand if you're a real progressive, or if you're an anarchist.

I'm not saying they dont agree on most things, not at all. I just find her as a politician to be so repulsive
But the thing about that is, as this convention goes on, it's hard to ignore what people I do respect, like Al Franken and Bernie (especially) are saying. I'm glad I don't have to vote because this would be a very tough call for me. So far tho the DNC has been good. Has me feeling less ill about Hillary.
