NY Superdelegates Must Stand Up for Sanders
Zero superdelegates in New York State have endorsed Senator Sanders for President in the Primary. Sanders was born and raised in New York State, is receiving considerable support from New York voters and volunteers, plus has 30+ years of experience as a true Democrat. This complete lack of support in our state suggests our representatives are most interested in their own career, by currying Party favors and supporting legal corruption on a local level that in turn pervades our systems of government nationwide.
Why is this important?
We do not think you understand how committed we Bernie Sanders supporters are! There will be zero chance of getting our vote the next time you are up for election in New York if you do not endorse Bernie Sanders for President in the Primary as a superdelegate of the DNC. It appears that you are more interested in gaining favors with Clinton than delving into the myriad of potential crises that face our nation and the world. We have had but a taste of what climate change holds in store for us this year with record shattering temperatures, droughts, floods and extreme weather events that have become the norm. The economy is poised for a complete downturn that we can only hope is as bad as the 2008 catastrophe.
We are only going to waste our time telling you where Sanders and Clinton stand on one issue, because the facts are clear; Sanders is the only President who can lead the charge against the enormous difficulties that we face. We have seen flowering bushes in New York that have started budding in the middle of winter. This foreshadows massive plant, tree and crop failures which indicate that the stakes are complete and utter human extinction. And you are really considering a Clinton endorsement when she has been indecisive on Keystone XL, one of the most recognized recent environmental victories? You probably know that Sanders was against dredging up the most evil of oils in the tar sands of Canada from day one. Sanders stood against TransCanada and the free trade deals that Clinton supported, which have opened the doors wide for multinational corporations to sue against our civil liberties. Clinton now says she is against KXL and TPP, but we have seen little evidence that this would hold true if elected. We know where Sanders stood, stands and will continue to stand.
We pledge a non-vote for you no matter what, if you do not endorse Bernie Sanders. We will seek out and encourage opponents in your upcoming races, throwing our full support behind them. If you are not with us, you are against us in these desperate times. By now, you are probably hearing exactly how dedicated us Bernie Sanders volunteers and supporters are! We see that there is truly no positive outcome for our nation without swift and responsible measures, of which, Sanders has been saying and acting upon without waver for the past thirty years in office. As you may know, Sanders is the only Democratic candidate, born and raised in New York State, that countless polls claim is poised to wipe the floor with the current Republican Presidential frontrunners.
It is not too late to claim our Democracy from the insidious donor class, which fills the coffers of campaigns, such as yours, by waging war upon those of the lower classes. Slowly but surely accumulating more wealth as representatives like you claim, “it is for the greater good”. We know it is really for the good of your career. The lower class is growing, as agreements that are supposedly “free trade” deals and weak bank regulations espoused by Clinton destroy the middle class. If you have studied history than you know what happens when there is great income disparity and high hopes or expectations for better conditions.
It is an outrage that a Democratic candidate for President is shunned by an establishment sympathizer such as yourself. He is the first candidate in many of our lifetimes who is actually embracing truly Democratic principles and succeeding on a national level, while not accepting Super PAC contributions and those clearly corrosive corporate monies.
Imagine our power if elected representatives and officials actually stood up for what they must know is morally right. Sanders is representing, in every way, the majority of American people on every single issue, can you say the same? Claim the endorsement that you know you want. Listen to that part of your conscience that actually cares about people other than yourself or watch as us Bernie or Bust true Democrats vote for anyone but you in upcoming elections.
