As I See It -
And what of Israel and the Palestinians; can President
Hillary Clinton be expected to effect
any progress there? Probably not, as one could expect her to be even more
beholden to the Israeli/American lobby in Washington, and to the elites on Wall
Street. So the Israeli/Palestinian crisis can be expected to remain just that;
a forever festering cauldron or volcano,
which from time to time, erupts and causes great harm and destruction, before
returning to its simmering state.
It is unlikely that President Hillary Clinton would be able
to exile Iran back to the isolation and developmental retardation which it had had to suffer in the
past; not because of any altruism on America’s part, but because the Europeans
and other countries would not allow it, neither would the American capitalists.
It would not be economic.
Returning to the title of this piece; that of what if
Hillary Clinton were to become POTUS (President of the United States)?
Where would that leave Bernie Sanders, and the millions of Americans who
are trying to break the conservative and unevolving politics of America. The kind of politics which has seen a
non-politician such as Donald Trump making great headway as the top Republicon
presidential nominee contender?
What would become of their heirs of Obama’s “Change that we
can Believe in.” Would they begin to
give up hope that ‘we can’?
Would the Americans who yearn for a transformation from the
mediocrity and dictatorship of the Demcons have to acquiesce and accept that
‘this is as good and progressive as it will ever get’?
Well, probably not, but what is likely is that, if Bernie
Sanders is denied the opportunity of
becoming the Democrats’ presidential nominee candidate, and is elected to be
POTUS, then, it is very unlikely that he could become a credible contender in
2020.
For the Americans who are refusing to accept that this is as
far, politically, that their country can evolve into a more progressive
society, the challenge of finding and supporting a candidate on whom to bestow
the mantle of change which Bernie Sanders has come to epitomises, should begin
now; even before the next POTUS is elected.
The hope of America cannot be limited to one man; it is the
responsibility of all Americans who years for and are willing to strive for
greater progress on a societal level.
It is therefore the case that American progressives should begin to search for their next standard bearer.
This should still be the case even, if Bernie Sanders were to cause the greatest upset in American presidential elections in many decades, and win the Presidency.
The bridge to the aspirant better future has to be built before it can be realized, and each leader and generation is but a span in getting the nation across the river of the future.
