I have been told if I vote for Bernie...

38. Fuggesaboutit! You could say a vote for anyone other than Bernie is a wasted vote.

I know that the populace, including many Progressives, have been convinced to hold so many contrary views, by the DLC, Third Way, Ronald Raygun, Grover Norquist, right-wing talk radio, for years and years and years. False views, like government can't do anything right or administer anything. Well, Social Security and Medicare may not be perfect models of efficiency, but they sure as heck are popular and needed and effective!!!

And for many Progressives, that one must compromise, that one must be "realistic", etc.

Bernie speaks truth to power, and unabashedly. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt, another titan who should probably be revered among all others in the Progressive pantheon.

Folks like Bill Clinton and yes, Barack Obama, while certainly doing great things and "being better than the other side" have to be seen as relatively weak in the fight against oligarchy and corporatism in America. And that is not because they were up against more forces. That's because they chose to believe they needed to adopt the views of the other side to win.

Bernie Sanders, in contrast, is not afraid to speak his mind and to speak what is true. And this is resonating with so many people who in their hearts understand the same things to be true. And now they have someone to fight behind.

I'm behind Bernie Sanders all the way. As long as he's in the fight, I'm with him. He is getting the proper word out, that people can feel intuitively in their hearts as true. There is nothing like that out there elsewhere, and that's why I'm absolutely convinced he can win and be the great President that we need right now.

Your vote wasted?: No way. It's for perhaps the best guy of all in the fight for a decent life for the average American. How could that be a wasted vote.

Cast you vote against apathy, against brainwashing, against the corporate powers that be, agains the faulty decisions of the Supreme Court, against the Third Way Democrats, against the erroneous belief that government cannot be helpful so much be done away with, against outsourcing jobs to other countries, against TPP, and against those "realists" who insist it can't be done. Well, not it can't, unless you try. Unless you do it.

Just do it!!!! Go Bernie Go!
