Believed to be Corrupt and untrustworthy by the vast majority of Americans. And to have the audacity to try to pin the blame for her weaknesses on Bernie is so far beyond "too far" that it's sickening.

when Al Gore was characterized as "the lesser of two evils".

Ralph Nadar ran third party and got the support of independents and progressives.

George W. Bush was elected.

Al Gore went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for environmental activism.

That said, evil is evil as far as I'm concerned. I will vote for neither Hillary nor Trump. Sad, sad, pitiful world if those are the options.
