If it comes down to the Establishment vs. Trump I don't know if I'll vote for Trump, not Vote at all, or write in a candidate. Do any other progressives share the same sentiment? Maybe John Kasich will be given the nomination- I'd vote for him easily over the establishment on the left. The DNC clearly has not learned its…

Voter participation - what is your stance?

Canadian reassurance that Bernie's no anarchist
Having volunteered for Bernie for months now, I wish I had seen this video before canvassing here in Ohio.
