A choice has to be made in November of presidential election years. Before that, we have an opportunity to select who will run. My advice is to promote the candidacy of someone you support. That will, at least, be something productive to do. In November of 2016, the choice will be a binary one. You can choose to vote for the Democratic candidate or not to vote for that candidate. Primary season's about to begin, Manny. Work for a candidate of which you approve.
