Brothers and Sisters,
We truly are on the brink of a political revolution where the use of backroom deals and aristocratic oligarchies are about to be phased out. Even though Madam Speaker Hillary Clinton appears to have the nomination lined up, I shall not sway my vote to her as others have. Bernie Sanders continues to share the majority of my beliefs and I shall vote for him regardless of who the primary democratic nominee is, and here's a few reasons why:
Hillary Clinton does not share my beliefs. I personally find her ties to Wall Street and large corporations very suspicious, and I'm nervous about the potential for her to be indicted on behalf of The Clinton Foundation for racketeering, where several sources (including former majority house leader Tom DeLay) have said that the FBI is close to recommending an official investigation to Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. If our president-elect turns out to be indicted after they have been elected, then we'll be in an interesting spot, because when the sitting president is tried and convicted of a crime, they are not allowed to pardon themselves, and the conviction is to double as an impeachment.
So I'm voting in the presidential election with the idea in the back of my mind that the president may be indicted very shortly into their first term, and that a vote for Hillary (if she is indicted) is merely a vote for her vice president, whom has yet to be announced, yet as Elizabeth Warren has come out in support of Hillary in the past few days, Warren appears to be a possibility.
Bernie is the only one who has explicitly stated his views on topics that I thought most politicians would be afraid to state when running for office. He spoke on the power and corruption of Wall Street, he spoke about the influence of big companies in politics and law-making, he spoke on his desires to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and his desires to lower the cost of tuition from its rapid increase of nearly 500 percent in the past four decades. He spoke about his desire for LGBT rights, but the entire democratic side of the house is in support of that, so it wasn't that big of a shocker.
I understand that there are those that have hesitations when it comes to Bernie and what he can accomplish in office when elected, especially with a majority republican congress while he himself has identified as a democratic socialist. Yet many forget that congressional elections are coming up as well, and if those of you want to see change after voting for Bernie, you have every right to vote for a new majority in the next congressional election by starting with your own district.
For me, #BernieOrBust seems to be the only option, and I'll stand by him when the superdelegates vote on July 25, and when election day arrives, even if I have to write him in, which everyone can do, by the way.
