Why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders

I'm voting for Bernie Sanders because his agenda is for true democracy, and against the faux democracy of our current political situation:

Hypothesis: People who are very rich (and powerful) want to continue being very rich (and powerful).

This isn't a radical claim; it seems natural to me. Regardless, let's entertain the possible validity of this hypothesis...

Money is required for political power in our current system of government/organization. To be democratically elected into office, elaborate marketing/advertising campaigns must be executed. Elaborate marketing/advertising campaigns are most easily executed with money; it's not an accident that almost every single President of our nation (USA) has come from wealth, and the two or three who didn't were heavily funded by wealthy people.

How do very rich (and powerful) people ensure that they will continue being rich (and powerful)? They advocate public policy (via laws and government actions) that ensure the continuance and growth of their wealth and power.

Consider what you know about human nature. What is the average human being like? If we assume that the group of very rich people who are in political power are like everyone else, then it's safe to assume that they're not magically selfless or altruistic. It's safe to assume that they're not the benevolent provider of our rights - that they don't act in order to ensure that we ordinary people have life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, due process, and other apparent benefits of democracy. Why would they care about that when they're too busy enacting public policy to ensure and enhance their wealth and power? (I won't even go into Bush/Cheney at this point... connect the dots...)

For all intents and purposes, a relatively small group of powerful people (who are powerful for no other reason that they're wealthy) are "pulling the strings" of government, thereby compromising our democracy.

Bernie Sander is not one of these elite, rich and powerful people who have been writing our laws.

Therefore, I support his candidacy for President of the United States of America, fully and unequivocally.
