The above is predictable apologetics for two betrayers of representative democracy. It is not possible to overestimate the sell-out to corporate/rich/ruling class interests at the expense of the community and fair procedures. Voting for either legitimizes that sell-out. We have a protest candidate, Farheen Hameem, Green Party, to vote for. Don't tell us we have to go with experienced old-boy sell-outs rather than new blood. --David Shove Roseville REMINDERS: 1.
