In Kirkland, Wa

Has the 2016 election changed your view of America? Why or why not?

Yes. Now, more than ever, I realize we live in a military/industrial oligarchy and our government is in great danger. The Republican candidates are all totally unprepared to govern with dignity and restraint. Their tactics have fueled racism and eliminated rational discourse. Governments around the world are looking on in horror at the political process taking place in the U.S. at this time. We have become a destabilizing force to the world. I am ashamed of our government at this time.

Which candidate, if any, are you supporting?

Bernie is a decent, honorable man who supports policies that will serve the whole rather than the top 1% in this country. He is a constructive, articulate force for good rather than a bully seeking his own aggrandizement. He is running a populist campaign that is forward-looking and civil.
