Hey Bernie fans! Still thinking about being loyal to “your party?” “Your party” actively worked against your candidate. “Your party” conspired with reporters to slant coverage against him. “Your party” sought to use religious labels and allegations against him. “Your party” created super delegates to undermine your votes. “Your party” denied all this until leaked emails uncovered their actions.

If you defenestrate your principles and vote for their anointed one, their queen, the woman your candidate declared unfit to be President, you’re tolerating and accepting their underhanded actions. Sure, the Republican candidate is loathsome, but isn’t the woman that your support for Sanders repudiated loathsome as well? What kind of a message are you sending “your party” if you knuckle under to their sneaky, backhanded and decidedly un-Democratic ways?

I’m not suggesting you vote for Trump. I’m not voting for him, so why would I ask you to? Fortunately, you have alternatives. One of them consists of two governors from states that voted for Bill Clinton and Al Gore. One of them consists of people who oppose cronyism, who are on your side of the culture wars, who have actual executive experience, and who represent a real difference from the CLUMP duopoly.

So, how about it? How about voting to actually make a difference, instead of vindicating “your party’s” vile machinations?

If you want real change, you need to vote for it.
