Oh for the love of pete.

"...generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick..."

Seriously, Mr. Not My First Choice? What a stupid thing to say. Pandering to the very young -- I guess somebody has to do it. Because apparently the very young will only fucking vote if they are made to feel that there is a young candidate made especially for their precious young souls, someone who really understaaaaaaaaaaannds them, someone who does not require them to acknowledge that old white dudes like FDR ever did anything like, oh I don't know, set up Social Security and Medicare. Because, you know, this is the moment.

We all want to feel special, but I'd rather feel special because of reality, not because some candy-bar candidate is lipping cute untruths.
