In Good Conscience

Bernie Sanders: "I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere in the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour." https://t.co/ih97JpAlkU pic.twitter.com/3K2wTG501W

If one has to end a campaign, it should be in good conscience that the campaign was done well, that it raised significant issues, and that ending it is the best thing to do to further the policy goals intended. We aren't living in normal times at all, as this last, appalling primary in Wisconsin made very clear. Defeating the Republican party is the only way for any kind of progressive agenda to take hold because, in part, of what the conservatives in this country have made of the courts. Senator Sanders was a damn good candidate, and is a damn good senator and a strong ally in the fight against the current corrupt administration. He demonstrated that when he said, "Not me, us", he meant it.

It will take many people of good conscience to get rid of Trump. All of us who believe in a system that is fairer and more just. That are sick of the lies and hypocrisy. The Democratic party isn't a perfect vehicle, nor former VP Biden a perfect candidate, but it's the shot. In good conscience, what in the hell would four more years of Trump bring?
