For Bernie Sanders - " socialist " and Democrat- I think it would be a broken promise not to take his brand of " political revolution " right into the Democratic National Convention.
He can leave it to the political conscience of his passionate supporters whether or not to vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Although a registered Democrat in Rhode Island I did vote for Ralph Nader twice. I say it is a pure democratic right to vote for that presidential candidate whose political ideas you most agree with.
I cannot reconcile Sanders' " political revolution " with Status Quo Hillary. I will consider voting for Jill Stein of the Green Party or I will WRITE-IN Mother Teresa.
I do understand all those fed up working class voters who presently lean toward Donald Trump.
To be sure , the Zeitgeist is smiling at the Anti-Establishment Voter.
In Appalachia the other day neo-Democrat Hillary Clinton made it painfully clear that she is no Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1968 the " Other America " could sense the instinctive empathy of Senator Robert Kennedy. To be sure, Bernie Sanders is closer ideologically to Kennedy than to his idol Eugene V. Debs.
Is it really possible to make Wall St. capitalism less incurably greedy ?
