But there is no way in hell I would EVER vote for Trump in ANY election, for ANY position down to and including dog catcher.

I am as disappointed as anyone that Bernie Sanders was treated unfairly and lost the primary, but that happened and is not changing no matter how many garments are rended, how many teeth are gnashed or how long the cries of "foul!" and "shame!" ring out.

To allow the Talking Yam to be elected is anathema to anyone with an ounce of progressive politics in their blood. I have been guilty of saying (and sometimes really believing) that there is no difference between the parties, but this time around that is totally wrong.

The Trumpster Fire is an existential threat to the Republic and a danger to the world. He cannot be allowed to win because too many people want to sit it out on general principle. There is too much at stake to allow a preventable, horrible outcome.
