except that hers is generally smarter, more comprehensive, and better planned out.

But I'll admit, I believe in the party more than I believe in ANY individual person, including Hillary or even Obama. People have flaws, including Bernie (and his flaws are massive); parties have principles. If you don't like the principles of a party, you have to find a better party, or work to influence the principles of the party you have. That's all Bernie meant to do from the beginning, and to that extent, I support him. (Though he isn't *really* to the left of Clinton; that's a simplistic reading of the situation.)

Marx didn't say "Everybody vote for Lenin, he'll break up the big banks!" He said "Workers of the world, unite!" It's the unity that matters, not the leader.
