Revote

My fantasy became reality and Bernie Sanders won the Democratic nomination, faced Donald Trump in the general election, kicked his ass, and was elected president. If it were later revealed, however, that Russia tampered with the outcome in order to ensure his winning, I would reject Bernie's victory. I would reject it! Upon this, I swear; and to play upon my fantasy in our reality, no matter one's politics and under the light of our principles, as wide-ranging as they are, we should ALL reject a "president" Trump and demand a new, fair, carefully monitored and audited election. As Constitutionally complicated as this would be, other democratic countries call for elections when political pressures mount; and although our government doesn’t practice this approach, as locked-in to our quadrennial routines as we are, this would be that moment in our history, no matter the costs, to demand a break from our practices and do what is just and right and free by making our election our own.
