Bernie Sanders For President!

I support Senator Sanders for president. His key positions, Medicare For All, taxing the wealthy, and free education are exactly the prescriptions for a more just society that are needed in our country. Senator Warren has articulated progressive positions on many issues, but her campaign seems to lack the necessary popular support. Mayor Pete is a real disappointment to me. I had hoped that a fellow gay man would be more progressive, but his positions such as opposition to Medicare For All are terrible, and his red-baiting of Bernie Sanders is disgraceful. Joe Biden's time has come and gone. Bloomberg is simply trying to buy the nomination and the presidency, and there is no one else in the remaining field that has a realistic shot at winning the nomination on the first ballot at the convention with a plurality or majority of pledged delegates. Bernie Sanders can be proud of a lifetime of working for social and economic justice. That he has no major accomplishment in the Senate says more about the politics of his fellow senators and the senate as an institution than it does about him. Super Tuesday may well point to the obvious conclusion, Bernie, in the race for the Democratic party nomination, but if Bernie wins a plurality of delegates by the time the convention is held and the party operatives anoint someone else at a brokered convention, this will split the party and we will indeed have four more years of the criminal trump presidency.
