is near, we will not tolerate a thread putting our nominee on the same level as Trump. Please do not provoke if you can't take a factual response.

there's no room for any other than the neoliberal, pragmatic considerations of the 'adults'.

Elections WILL have consequences. Majority rule! Etc.

Hillary and Trump suck, Bernie is not much better overall as a candidate. Rubio, Cruz and the rest of the clow car are worse than awful.

Slim pickings this year.

I will vote all DEM downticket since I live in CT, where there's some decent DEMs in those races, but my choices for president are terrible.
