Honey, it's time for a divorce
Our battered relationship must end. We keep on being slapped around and told that we are not important. We are told that we HAVE to support our "better half" or the "other side" will win. In 2012, we were told that a vote for Jill Stein was a vote for Mitt Romney. We accepted this propaganda and voted as we were told.
We are sick of this abuse. You use us for your own ends. You con us and tell us "oh, your so pretty, we'll give you healthcare reform". We believed you and we stayed faithful. What did we get for our loyalty? We ended up being shaken down and having our money given to Corporations instead of Government run healthcare. Healthcare should NOT be controlled by corporations.
We need an exit strategy. Until the kids turn 18 in November, we are kinda stuck together. We cannot change our electoral system this fucking close to an election. It has to be between the election seasons. But that does not mean that we cannot start our planning now.

if two "vampires" both abhor the cross of a democratic debate
one is male, one is female. Then which one is less evil than the other?
If I have a choice to pick up one of two hitchhikers off the interstate, one is Ted Bundy, the other is Aileen Wournos, which one brings less risk in the car for me?
Should I prefer strangulation or a few 22 cal. bullets?

Pick them both up. Introduce them. Then, abandon the car. Turn it into the police as stolen. Chances are, you'll have saved your local Judicial District enough money to buy you a new one several times over.

bail out! excellent suggestion
so just bail out of car, escape as fast as possible, and then report it to officials as an interstate car-jacking. That's definitely the best possible solution.
That's actually what I did the last time I picked up 2 hitchhikers. But it took a knife slash on the side of neck, and a few stitches later that night, to realize not to make a habit out of it. BTW you can roll out of a moving vehicle without injury if it's going at residential speeds. Also the roach found in the backseat was not mine, but the police were sure it was a drug deal that went sour. Victim becomes the criminal. I've been in that movie.
But back to my hypothetical scenario. Your solution means it won't matter which one will be doing the potential ambushing, Bail out immediately. You won't be there to find out. Leave them to their own devices. And they may yet get caught in the act, if the police decide to investigate.
Bernie or bust makes so much more sense now. It's the only real choice under those circumstances. The officials don't investigate vote fraud. The 'police' don't care.
Bernie or bust, that means we better start citizen-based exit polling as soon as possible. The oligarchy has bailed out on it, their corporations won't fund it anymore.
If they shut out Bernie, and it's a good guess they will very soon, they're going to be fixing the central tabulators for Hillary when Trump will be beating her on all counts.
Jill Stein is going to need exit polling more than Bernie. I don't care how they rig it against the other two.
Obamacare: 27 million planned to remain uninsured
and twice that underinsured.
The private "partners" spend up to 8 times more on over head than Medicare, so the answer to that is to chip away at Medicare with privatizing parts of it til all of it is owned by the insurance companies.

I'd rephrase one sentence...
Healthcare should NOT be controlled by corporations.
I'd rephrase that as:
Whether I live or die should NOT be decided by corporate death panels.
