Things don't matter; ideas don't matter; people matter

So Anglo Bernie worked out well. https://t.co/bUqmDzpYG4

Bernie is anti-semitic?

It looks like voters have rejected Jeremy Corbyn's antisemitism.

We told you. We told you that the only way to save the country from austerity was to have an electable labour leader. You refused to listen.

Besides, I don't think Bernie is really viable.  Joe may not be, if news he's good for only one-term gets widespread attention.

Everybody's getting beaten up at this point, and still nobody has the black vote like Joe does; which is another problem entirely (is that enough to win to the White House?, for example).  But Brexit is a terrible idea, and even if Scotland doesn't bolt the union over it (Scottish National Party lost 55 seats; don't know what that means about Scotland and Brexit), the closed border with Ireland is going to bring no end of grief.

Politics really does come down to who, not what.
