Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Larry David, or he like you, such as it is? I think had you won the nomination a whole new revenue stream would have been created for Larry which in turn could have been funnelled into the education system for your plan to fund college tuition for Americans....think about it. But alas...you came up short, or really were screwed over by the establishment. It's OK, I can say that since A, nobody reads this and B, I'm allowed to say whatever I want on here...sort of like Drumph but without the lies and "isms" that he is using to inch his way closer to the White House.
And here is the reason for my letter good sir. Were you offered a spot on the ticket as vice president? If you were, why did you turn it down? Seriously, would we even be discussing Drumph except to say how far back in the polls he was and ask what moronic thing did he say today? You would have been the final nail in his coffin, instead we have him essentially tied with Hilary...we're all scared man. He's a lying narcissist dimwit that can't be trusted with your locker combination to an empty locker much less the nuclear codes and state secrets. I'm not saying it's your fault, far from it, really it's him and the deplorable fuck heads that follow him blindly and the even more dangerous people that actually think he would be good for the country and hence the world. But you could have silenced him by simply tagging along.
The added bonus is that you would have kept Hilary honest...the moral compass for the country when it is needed most. Two more months of primaries and I have no doubt that you would have won the nomination and convinced those super delegates to switch sides, but alas...it was not meant to be. But you still would have had an impact, a very real one by joining her. You wouldn't be the one that could be ignored, she's too smart to do that and you're too popular to not say your peace. Not only could the revolution have continued but I firmly believe that the course of your country would have been changed for the better.
At the risk of sound like a gushing teenager you really do have the betterment of the American people at heart, your 'revolution' being marked by a desire to bridge the gap between the have and the have nots, the ridiculously wealthy with the people that can't take another step, so mired in poverty that no way out can be seen. To bring a modicum of common sense and compassion back to the front where it belongs...and to beat back the xenophobia, the racism, the misogyny and ultra conservative far right religious zealots. You could have led that battle, not only from your office but within the halls of the Senate and Congress...for certainly you could have helped win back the legislative end of the power sharing arrangement in your country. Transformative comes to mind.
I can understand why Hilary didn't offer you the spot, too much fire on the bottom of the ticket of course. Who wants their presidency marred by the eternal question...why wasn't it Bernie? I get that but I can't help but think that those issues could have been managed, mitigated even to play to your strengths and to hers. I suppose everyone has a role to play and often best intentions are waylaid by politics and power...maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Tell me Bernie, how do you feel right now? Are you pissed? Resigned? Matter of fact? Fearful? All of the above would be my answer. I loved your ideas and your passion...it would have been fun to watch you lead the country. Not in the anarchist way we are going to watch if Drumph gets elected but in the way it would be fun to feel like you were ours and ours alone...our boy making good and doing the right thing.
Keep fighting the good fight sir...the world needs it.
Respectively yours
D
