Lesser evil is still evil, we can do better…
Bernie Sanders is right about economic justice and he is a “lesser evil” than Trump, Clinton or a dozen other Republicans… but I cannot vote for evil, greater or lesser.I don’t buy it.
And this is why what Bernie and Clinton both said in the debates matters…. Sanders and Clinton endorse avoidable wars, illegal drones, and presidential murders without due process. But these misguided policies have already cost trillions, killed millions and have dire consequences. America no longer has any credibility. We have become the terror. And we are virtually bankrupt.Currently, American foreign policy under Obama has become a global assassination program, using bombs, drones and CIA espionage to attack smaller and less powerful nations for profit. Bernie signed off on this foolishness and Clinton (as Secretary of State) helped destroy two nations and needlessly cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
No thanks.
We are no longer a beacon of freedom. We have become the largest exporter of terror, munitions and war on the planet. And when it comes to military aggression against nations who did not attack us, Bernie will not budge. He supports dozens of simultaneous wars of aggression and Clinton is on board. I cannot support either of these pretenders. They carry too much baggageand we have better choices.
“We know Bernie said he will support Hillary if she wins the nomination. And Hillary has promised to attack Iran. To take the White House, all Jill Stein has to do is tell the truth.”https://thepeaceresource.wordpress.com/2016/01/27/we-have-choices-to-make/
Based on his experience as Dennis Kucinich’s former press secretary, David Swanson has drawn the conclusion that the left should not support Sanders. “The best place to put our resources is into uncorrupt, principled, policy-driven, nonviolent, creative activism–including activism needed to create fair, open, verifiable elections,” Swanson wrote.
