Miriam, your unnecessary personal attacks aside; Sanders supporters haven't
embraced Clinton and he knows it. Their refusal to vote democratic will tip the
scales towards to the benefit of the GOP. Even though I was duped myself by
Sanders I now realize that he wasn't in it to win it. He merely was interested
in kicking the progressive leg out from under the democratic party. This was
evident when he failed to campaign for the primary in Massachusetts. Why in
earth, if you are really seeking the democratic nomination, would you let the
most democratic state in the union slip away? Now don't even get me started on
Stein. I was heavily involved in the Greens a few moons back until I realized
it was merely a front for wealthy neo-liberal offshore alternative energy
corporations. Think about it; if Sanders and Stein did not exist this campaign
cycle more progressives would be drawn to the democratic party and that would
push it to the left. Instead Sanders and Stein have given progressives a false
path to nowhere to go down while abandoning the democratic party which will
push it more to the right. If Clinton does win and her performance leans to the
right I will attribute that to the lack of support she has gotten on the left.

I think that anyone who believes that Sanders and Stein are trying to put a
Republican in office is deluded. I know that Frank keeps repeating this
allegation. I think it is slanderous. All one needs to do is read Sanders'
speeches and articles since the Democratic convention to understand that he is
wholeheartedly supporting the Democratic party. Many people are very angry at
the Green Party because it refuses to fit into the two party system that the
elites have decreed. I've read a variety of criticisms of the Greens.What these
criticisms come down to is that Democracy is not permitted in America. There's
nothing in our constitution about political parties.
There's no reason that we can't have real proportional representation like most
other western countries do.

Marsha, if Michelle were running she would be attacked in the same way if not
worse than Hillary. No politician in a capitalistic state will give everyone
what they want, they can't do that. The system dictates that they must play
either side of the corporate state's line. Obama and Clinton working the inside
track and toeing the Democratic party line and Sanders and Stein working the
outside track to put a Republican in the oval office.
That will never change as long as we hold onto capitalism as our lord and
savior.

Hi
If there should be a president who has been married to a former president,
Michelle could be much better than Hilary.
