Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

True, but it will be less worse.
This is what I mean by short-sighted. Yes, it may be "less worse" for you for a few election cycles, but the candidates have no incentive to be less evil, and in fact every incentive to get increasingly evil. So you end up with a situation like this, where the two evil scumbags are even more evil than usual.
Shortsighted and typical. Please don't vote.
And it also matters that I'm in Ohio.
It doesn't. You're still voting for evil.
