I have watched people settle for the lessor of two evils for decades, and the result is that both major political parties have drifted towards the right, producing more evil. Establishment Democrats like the Clintons and Obama are now what "moderate" Republicans used to be. The strategy is not working, and hasn't for a long time. We need large change, not incremental. And yes, we are very much at war. Both the Sanders and Trump campaigns are blowing up US politics. Good. We're at the change or die point.
