On balance, I prefer the Bernie-or-Busters over the sociopaths that Trump is bringing into his party.
I have met Bernie-or-Busters (1) who will sit out this election, (2) who will write in Sanders, (3) who will vote for Jill Stein, and (4) who will vote for Johnson-Weld, and (5) I have also met former Bernie-or-Busters who have come around and will now vote for Hillary.
I know there is a sixth category of Bernie-or-Busters -- I know they exist -- but I have never yet met anyone who once supported Sanders but who now supports Trump.
NOTE: I have not made my mind up about how I will vote and contribute, but it will NOT be for Trump or for Johnson-Weld, and the bulk of my efforts will likely be focused on turning the Senate blue.
