A
registered Democrat in Rhode Island, I was a critical supporter of "
socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders up to his not surprising
capitulation to the Queen of the Status Quo, Hillary Clinton.
The Democratic Party is now just a shadow of the pro-labor, working class oriented party of FDR and his impressively " progressive ". New Deal. Not for nothing American plutocrats called Franklin D. Roosevelt " that man " years after his death.
Hillary Clinton sounds more and more like a neo-con Republican . Bernie has most certainly not pushed her to the left. On the contrary, " Wall St. Hillary " has sabotaged his really quite moderate " political revolution. ". And clearly she is the candidate of the Pentagon.
If " democratic socialism " means anything at all, it means a questioning of the moral legitimacy of even respectable, legitimate wealth . It does not give American capitalism a passport to the future. We who are without cramped souls can imagine a better, saner economic and political order.
I have voted for Jill Stein in the past . I voted for Ralph Nader twice with no regrets.
I am presently considering militant socialist candidates. I reject only violent fanaticism on the left.There is quite enough brainless violence in the world.
Jill Stein now a contender
