The pity of those campaigning for Bernie Sanders today is that, driven by the same panic, they’ll switch to campaigning for Clinton when Sanders loses the nomination. That’s the never-ending cycle of lesser evilism.

Panic is a poor guide in politics since it’s trajectory is a circle leading nowhere. You can’t substitute panic for political principles & think you’ll change things that way. What’s that cliche about insanity: ‘doing the same thing over & over again & expecting different results”?

Whatever will those Palestinian solidarity activists now campaigning for Sanders do when Clinton remains the choice? Is there any way in hell to parse her groveling support for Israel as the lesser evil?
