Vote Bernie Now More Than Ever [View all]



Vote Bernie Now More Than Ever
Jonathan Greenberg
Huff Po

Bernie Sanders has run the most successful grassroots campaign in American history, and his second American revolution provides the first real opportunity that We, the People, have had to overthrow our corporate-corrupted government and replace it with a system that benefits the public interest, our shared ecology, and a peaceful future.

There is simply no downside to voting for Sanders during this month’s final Democratic primaries. Bernie may still be our next President, despite the widely parroted insistence by a Clinton-biased corporate media and Democratic Party insiders’ that Bernie is finished. These are the same voices that have been singing the “may as well stay home Bernie voter” song since the very beginning of the primary season.

Bernie, not Hillary, is the one packing stadiums with newly motivated young voters and previously apathetic citizens of all races. Bernie’s momentum continues to soar, just as Clinton’s popularity, hammered by the latest report on her email scandal and a merciless Trump campaign, continues to decline. If Sanders pulls off an upset victory in California, which feels likely, and in other states during the next few weeks, then Bernie’s purportedly impossible dream may yet become our reality.


Probably won't work, but screw it. Go Bernie!
