I agree. This whole thing is way too much like the parents bickering over who should get the end of season awards (It just depends on what your last name is, how popular you are, not fair, blah blah blah,) destroying team chemistry before the playoffs start.
It's also quite remarkable how entrenched binary thinking has become. As someone in New York, in deeply entrenched Bernie country, where no one knew anybody who wasn't supporting Bernie, it is astonishing that we are still doing either/or. You could have, and should have been able to shift for either on election day. Anyone who could not do that is solely responsible for their intellectually lazy, self righteous decision if they opted out because of any of this.
It is by this division we are vulnerable and teetering on the brink of a Balkan style disaster. I say that as someone who is in this country after my grandparents and father were chased off their property in the former Yugoslavia, by gunpoint, leaving my Uncle's dead body lying in the dirt.
We take too much for granted.
