I sometimes read the comments to NYT articles that I am interested in. Here is a comment to a piece on the Electoral College and primaries: Why are we made to choose which primary to be in. Why in the world can't vote in both? Why must we be put in a position like this time where we want so badly to vote against someone in both parties, in order to have a likable candidate in both slots come November. One more divisive policy. We have a democracy. Not we don't, we have a republic. Not we have an asterisk. A government of the people, for the people, and by THOSE people. This person is from California, home to every POV that can be found in the world.

Maybe you are not aware that during the Nevada caucus the union goons that supported Hillary used all their influence, including Getting the casino owners and others to give time off so their employees could go vote for Hillary. And there is no way those union workers were going to openly vote against Hillary with all the union goons standing around.The caucuses were not fair. Workers are not to go against union bosses. And as far as Jill Stein goes, she is pulling liberals out of the Democratic Party. Bernie isn't doing that, he stood up and in no uncertain terms told everyone to vote for Hillary. And he had a right to run as a democrat in the primaries, just like Obama did. In fact Jill Stein offered Bernie the top slot if he would move over there and bring his people with him. What Jill Stein is doing Is actively and openly and aggressively trying to blow the Democratic Party up and may well end up electing Trump more than any other variable I can think of. <<Uh, uh. Too late. this should have been done after the Nevada caucus, and at every speech.
