Gaby Hoffmann on Caucusing for Bernie Sanders: caucus system is "so f--king out of control"
Hillary Clinton won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, but her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, came within striking distance, losing by just five percentage points.
When the results were in, Sanders sent an email to supporters characterizing it as a great showing for his campaign. "Nevada was supposed to be a state 'tailor made' for the Clinton campaign, and a place she once led by almost 40 points," he wrote. To Sanders, the close loss demonstrated that his "campaign can win anywhere."
To Transparent actress Gaby Hoffmann, who spent the weekend campaigning for Sanders in Nevada, the results showed "how broken and corrupt our democracy is."
More importantly, perhaps, it reveals some of the pitfalls of the caucus system, which she says "is so fucking out of control — it's confusing, it's intimidating, it's overwhelming."
