Nun ke Bernie forlasis, kun kiu vi aliancigxas?  Now that Bernie's dropped
out, whom do you side with?
 
Mi rekomendas retejon kiu ne ordonas kion vi pensu,  I recommend a web site
that doesn't tell you what to think, 
 
sed kvizas vin en ordo mezuri kion vi jam kredas, but quizzes you to measure
what you already believe, 
 
kiam montras la kanditatojn kiujn plej proksime egalas viajn respondojn.  then
shows the candidates that most closely match your own answers: 
 
 
 I side with dot com
 
  (isidewith.com)
 
 Zorgu,

>>"Bernie Sanders should take over the Democratic Primary and wipe out Hillary"
>> --Janis Kracht
>> There are some judgement calls in here, this is what I make of it:
>> I'd copy the names verbatim, not esperantize them.
>> Word order can be kept the same, no need here to rearrange it.
>>In two places, two words of english can be replaced by one (compound) word of
>> esperanto,
>> in one place a word of english is replaced by two of esperanto.
>> should          devus
>> take over       ekregi             (ek: (suddenly?) begin    regi: to rule)
>> the             la
>> Democratic      Demokrata
>> Primary         Primara Balotado   (balloting)
>> and             kaj                (rhymes with English "sky")
>> wipe out        forvisxi           (visxi for: wipe away)
>>"sx" above, is a kludge for the (single) letter which looks like an "s" with 
>> "^" over it.
>> It's pronounced like english "sh".
>> (UTF-8 has the esperanto characters, Fido Echoes don't).
> Take care,
> Janis
