It is shortly before their scheduled “unity” campaign event in New Hampshire today and we are all anxiously awaiting the direction of both campaigns. Bernie may not be fully conceding and endorsing Hillary today as he has continued to say that his campaign still intends to go to the convention in Philadelphia with his delegates. Whether or not he specifically concedes to her and officially drops out of the race at the convention, I will not be one of the voters that unites and follows his lead to vote for Hillary. I will either vote third party for President or abstain from voting for that particular office, and only vote for “Bernicrat” approved candidates down-ticket.
Despite the call for unity, I do NOT believe that most true “Berners” will support her even if Bernie does. Many will go toward the Green party this year. We all know this is NOT an ordinary election year, with a “second best” candidate who champions similar policies and we simply have to take a little time to get used to them. it was far from a “ fair and square” win. The widespread election fraud and cheating alone should have been enough to have our representatives in government, the media, and the President himself speaking out publicly in defense of our voting rights! There are multiple active lawsuits filed or about to be filed that will prove Bernie actually won.
A stolen primary isn’t isnt the only reason I cannot compromise my values and unite -the vast Clinton corruption (including the Clinton Foundation), the lawbreaking and perjury (even if they aren’t prosecuted), and putting the security of our country and the lives and safety of our military and citizens at risk for personal gain are unforgiveable. The list of my reasons is much longer, but extreme differences in policy and values are much too much for me to ever personally compromise them by voting for her! I cannot and will not vote for a criminal, even if some want to turn their heads and ignore it completely or minimize her actions as simply “careless”. I believe differently.
Jill Stein and the Green Party aligns much more with Bernie’s Progressive views than the current Democratic Party does. So, I will be researching more and likely be going in that direction with my vote. I have also decided that if Bernie is not the nominee at the end of July, I will be leaving the Democratic Party to become yet another Independent after 35 years of consistently voting and supporting Democratic candidates and goals. The DNC’s actions and the prior “bought and paid for” support of the Democratic superdelegates without one word of spoken concern for the wide array of obvious election fraud and voter suppression , or their refusal to listen to what the people wanted in the states they represent has sickened me. This is NOT my party, nor the party of the people any longer.
