I would like to ask Harry Brill to remember that Al Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 election. All votes are not equal. If his protest approach leaks over to states like Florida, where even now I hear people proposing to vote for third party candidates, the election could easily go to Trump. Control of at least the Senate is as important as the Presidential race. Potential appointees to the Supreme Court will make even more difference than the Presidency, because they are for life. The best hope for implementing the political revolution that Sen. Sanders promoted is to take back the legislative branch from the obstructionist party, and pass the legislation we need. This election is definitely not the time for a protest vote.
