ezs note: You may be a bit confused that the main article endorses Hillary Clinton, yet the right mast roots for Bernie Sanders. The article is written by Stephen Stromberg; it does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with the article. (In fact, I prefer Bernie.) However, I try to be as objective as possible. So read the articles. Talk with your friends. Watch the debates. After that, you can make an informed decision. (Go Bernie! Go Bernie! Go Bernie!)
