Well, as the meanness extends fully into the Democratic party, it seems to be more than ever the case that "they" in power are "all the same". How depressing. If both parties have been fully captured by oligarchic interests (presuming the Dems in the past were only partly so), then indeed what is left to do? Voting for a celebrity nut like the D is no answer. Voting for Bernie even as a write-in is at least sending a message, although it's hard to see what practical effect it can have at least in the short run. 100 years from now perhaps they will look back on this election as the last gasp of truly unfettered dog-eat-dog capitalism, not even a pretense that the government's job is to protect the well-being of the majority, which led to the (yet to be seen) american social revolution. I don't expect to be around to see such a future, and if it comes I suspect it will entail a fair amount of violence.
