I don't know. It wasn't about the general election, as I thought. Maybe it belongs here.

I hope Hillary Clinton wins, and I hope every last Democrat, right down to the sleaziest corporatist turncoat bastard, wins as well. If they don't, Bernie Sanders will get the blame, just as Ralph Nader got the blame.

This article purports to explain how the Democrats failed to stop a right wing nominee for the state supreme court because Sanders supporters just voted for Sanders and left the rest of the ballot blank. It amazes me how Bernie has the effect of making good, sensible Democrats suddenly lose their minds and ignore everything on the ballot but his name. He must have some kind of mind control going on. Secret brain waves broadcast from the mother ship? He made hoards of Democrats ignore down ballot candidates and issues.
Just as Nader made Democrats lose their minds and vote for him. I guess he is to blame for all the other Democrats who voted for Bush, also. Might as well blame him for the whole thing. No sense blaming our party for offering us Tweedle Dee and then following up with Tweedle Dum.
So get out there and vote for every Democrat you can, regardless of how far down the ballot you have to go, and without any respect to the fact that some of them are as bad or worse than the Republican candidates. Hold your nose, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and do what has to be done.
