"Time is short, and I don't care whether somebody is a useful idiot, or a full participant. Come the June election of 2016, I guarantee you I will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she chooses to run. If she should, by some miracle, win the nomination, I have no idea what I will do. I live in a deep blue state though, so I might take offers of strategic voting. But I might as well start looking for a way out of the insane asylum, because at that point, at least in my mind, not voting and eating waffles is just as effective as a choice. As a Jew, I have reasons, valid ones, to fear a Christian theocracy. Lets just say my well honed instinct tells me it might be time to leave stage left.

And I mean that."

Pretty much the same conclusions I've come to myself, or close enough that it makes very little difference. I'm still going to have to re-read that 2006 Atlantic article and read the Sharlet book, though.
