Who I Support In My Conscience For America’s President

Ten million dollars; I would suppose that’s how much you could win.

But I’m not betting on horseracing –

I’m choosing who I think should take the helm;

& There is one thing that makes what I think easy: I don’t believe in bureaucracy, in monarchy; in what other people are right now calling ‘dynastic politics’ – I see Bernie, among the candidates, as being the heir of our times’ responsible leadership, of the progressive wave’s leadership;

I align with Bernie on virtually every political orientation; & I also agree to the point that I do not have any policy conflicts with Hillary that I have encountered so far: this is good; as she is leading in every poll, in aggregate, from what I have seen.

But for me I cannot vote for the son, the plumber or other connected person as a basis for the United States of America’s leadership.

I also cannot promise Senator Sanders will win – but there is something important, here: along with front running well-formed policies now, his early vocal oppositions to the TPP, The Iraq War, & a superabundance of other issues later recognized to be best oriented to the facts, years before other people, make him a right, & therefore rightful, leader among politicians, here & now in our time, in my view.

Remember what’s popular is not always right – we don’t have to cite Hitler – or the belief that the moon was made of cheese – or burning fossil fuels by the barrel-load is a good idea – George W. Bush was example enough: what is popular is not always right.

These – & other reasons – are why I am a believer in Bernie – but will deal with what comes in the unfolding of events to come.

Thank You Everyone.

P.S. Do note: we need more than a good President:
