More likely, heavy psychoactive medications.

I've lived in the belly of the beast since 1986. The abject hatred of HRC in Jesusland is immeasurable. (Mind, I'm not saying all of it is justified - in fact, what the Jesusland inhabitants complain most vociferously about is almost always the result of laughably wrong-headed thinking). There is absolutely no way, no way on Earth that a Clinton ever wins Indiana. Obama did - once - when he was able to con the youth vote into believing he was Bernie Sanders. It took them four years to figure out that he was Bill/Hillary Clinton and then Obama lost Indiana in 2012. Bill didn't win Indiana either time. His wife won't win it either. But Bernie has a shot. But all the "we can't do what every other nation has done" crowd who constantly chants "Yeah. I hate Corporate control of my life but that's the way it is and always will be" will likely, once again, nominate a Republican to fill the Presidential Democratic ticket. In short, you're probably right. You win. Consequently, we all lose.

The irony, of course, is that I am fortunate to have my family income well above median. In fact, while I'm well below the 1%, I'm sufficiently above the 90th percentile to make Republican policies good for me. They absolutely suck for my kids, who are both in their 20's and like most people in their 20's and 30's have realized that whether its HRC or a Republican it doesn't make much difference to their future. So my politics are actually bad for my own pocketbook. If I'd be more like you, if I'd embrace the "Well, we are an oligarchy and there's nothing we can do about it, so we should elect the Asshat serf of the ruling class who won't actually waterboard us" attitude then I'd probably hold my nose, vote for the Wicked Witch of Wall Street (like I did for her husband) and watch her lose my state by (at least) 10 percentage points. I should be more "Me! Me! Me!" focused and not give a tinkers damn what happens to my progeny, but I can't. If either HRC (at best an Eisenhour Republican) wins or Trump or whomever wins, Republicans win and because I have in my life not made enough money (or better, earned enough non-earned income) to insure that my kids won't ever have to work (iow, I have not earned enough to enter HRC's true constituent class), my kids are going to be screwed. I should just accept that, right? I mean, after all, I'll be dead when they are ultimately homeless, right?

Edit: One more thing. If you think representative democracy is a good idea, then you must realize that it is far too late to settle for HRC. On the Democratic side of the aisle, we've been "settling" for at least 40 years. That's enough.
