Bernie Sanders Could Be the 2016 Democratic Candidate We’ve All Been Waiting For

98. So Get With The Program And Vote For Whomever You're Told To

We need to all fall in line behind the chosen nominee, even if we are convinced they are the entirely wrong person for the job. Even if we think they are corporate sellouts. Even if we think they are going to move the party farther and farther to the right. Even if we expect they will let the prior crimes of the previous administration go completely unpunished.

I am considering sitting out an election for the first time since I've been able to vote, which was in 1984 for Mondale/Ferraro. I would actually vote for Mr. Sanders, and think he's someone who actually believes in the ideals most Democrats hold, yet will not bow to the pressure of special interest groups, like every other politician will.

Do I think he has a chance in H&*L? Of course not, he would get clobbered, but at least once in my voting life, I want to be able to say I did not merely cast my vote for the person I was TOLD to vote for, rather than someone I believe in voting for. The last candidate I felt that way about was Al Gore, and my belief in this so-called Democracy has slid severely ever since that December 2000 day, and I see absolutely Nothing in the 2016 predictions of Clinton vs Bush, that will alter that belief.
