Remembering the Bernie Sanders rally in Roger Williams Park April 2016 - a beautiful Spring day
I was there with Brother Steve . A Bernie Sanders campaign button I bought for my beloved ( now deceased ) woman friend Dorene Rousseau. I knew " socialist " DEMOCRAT Sanders would not fail to disappoint me when he cravenly endorsed " Harpy Hillary " Clinton. But that is what my socialist oriented " CRITICAL SUPPORT " is all about. Like the abhorred ( for saving capitalism ! ) " THAT MAN " FDR in 1936 I am functionally pragmatic : " SEE WHAT WORKS ! ".Actually, in 1936 I would have voiced support for the American socialist author Upton Sinclair running for governor of California as a Democrat ( " The Jungle " is still with us ! ).
In 1976 and in 1980 I was a presidential elector for the Socialist Workers Party here in Rhode Island .[ NOTE : in 1980 one Bernie Sanders as a presidential elector for the SWP in his home state of Vermont ] .
Many years later I think the SOCIALIST " dream " is preferable to the CAPITALIST nightmare.
