You're going to be very, very lonely waiting for the Pure Revolution™ to come.

If you want Bernie to win - fine. Good, even. But if he doesn't win, if she beats him, maybe it's because more people think she's better than him. Maybe it's as simple as that. Screaming about how horrible she is when anyone with eyes can see that she's actually quite talented, accomplished, strong, principled, and pragmatic especially compared to the troglodytes on the other side is missing the big picture.
Governing is all about compromise.
Cheers,
Scott.
The term compromise in politics implies the surrender of certain demands, the renunciation of part of one’s demands, by agreement with another party.
The usual idea the man in the.street has about the Bolsheviks, an idea encouraged by a press which slanders them, is that the Bolsheviks will never agree to a compromise with anybody.
The idea is flattering to us as the party of the revolutionary proletariat, for it proves that even our enemies are compelled to admit our loyalty to the fundamental principles of socialism and revolution. Nevertheless, we must say that this idea is wrong. Engels was right when, in his criticism of the Manifesto of the Blanquist Communists[1] (1873), he ridiculed their declaration: “No compromises!”[2] This, he said, was an empty phrase, for compromises are often unavoidably forced upon a fighting party by circumstances, and it is absurd to refuse once and for all to accept “payments on account”[3] The task of a truly revolutionary party is not to declare that it is impossible to renounce all compromises, but to be able, through all compromises, when they are unavoidable, to remain true to its principles, to its class, to its revolutionary purpose, to its task of paving the way for revolution and educating the mass of the people for victory in the revolution.
