> This election is a simple choice — do we want more of the Snowden-revealed evil of the establishment or do we want to poke the establishment in the eye? I agree this election is a simple choice, but not the one you proposed. It's the choice between electing someone to power that we can be fairly confident will release that power when the time comes and someone who is, by his own admissions and actions, an aspirational autocrat envious of and enamored with despicable world leaders like Putin. As for the other issues you raise, as long as democracy survives, we have a chance of addressing them. When we start electing non-democratic leaders to fix our democracy, we have, by definition, lost.
