1. It's the American Way

Cheating is deeply imbedded into the culture since....Watergate, the beginning of it all.

I'm not saying there wasn't cheating before Watergate, but the cheaters got off scot-free, and prospered. And their followers copied them and built a massive fraud that now runs the nation and part of the world; fortunately, not all of it. Not yet.

Going with Bernie is taking that fraction of a % chance. It may not be much, but it's more than any other option offered to the electorate in this round.

And I believe it could happen that Bernie is elected freely and fairly, and builds a counterweight to drive out the cheaters, with the help of a few fellow Americans (the 99% of us who are tired of it all).

If I didn't have that sliver of belief, I would be emigrating forthwith.

As it is, I will reconsider options in 2017, if our chance for true change falls through.
