Diane Kroeze: Don’t vote for anyone who condones violence in pursuit of presidency
Democrats! Bernie has some good ideas, but how will he pay for them and how will he convince Congress to go along without raising our taxes to an obscene level? He talks about a “Social revolution.” But revolution, in the past, has been another word for violence and today we are seeing it already. Just like Donald Trump’s followers, Bernie’s emotions and words are bringing out the worst in some people. Do we need change? Yeah, but violence is a very poor way to get it. It has a way of staying around.
Yes, it’s a race for the White House but anything should not be OK to say. Trump the snake-oil salesman and Bernie with his grand and glorious visions don’t have the right to pull down the government with high emotion and destructive words. Realism and thought-out plans are what we should have.
Thinking people must stop believing the Republican’s fictitious version of Hillary or we might wind up with Nazi Trump, or Bernie who would be road-blocked by his own Congress because he wants his changes instantly.
Diane Kroeze, Modesto
