To chime in on the Hillary-Bernie debate, I just want to say I wholeheartedly support Bernie Sanders’ campaign. He speaks to my heart and what I want for all people in the United States and the World: harmony, freedom, love, compassion, equality, fairness. If I voted with my heart, I would vote for Bernie. I will, however, be voting with my finger; punching through a hanging chad waiting for it to fall to the ground before rejoicing like all Jewish grandmothers across South Florida (I mean my nice neighbors down by the beach.)

Just kidding. This election cycle, I will vote with my head. And in the upcoming Democratic Primary, I’m voting for Hillary. She represents what is great about America. Power, Opportunity, Optimism, and Freedom (though perhaps this one slightly less so than Bernie, I must admit). What’s more she represents what is exceptional about America, and what has, ironically, taken somewhat of a back step during the era of Obama: Diversity.

Her recent pledge to end racism with a $125 billion budget speaks to the transcendence of her candidacy. With her politicking ability, she also represents the most uninterrupted path forward for our country’s less fortunate. Her candidacy is the only logical progression of the Obama presidency, by all sane measures, a success. She is the single most qualified candidate in the entire field for the position and could wield a mighty, yet gentle sword for goodness of our country and our world.

Right now, however, I am less than optimistic about her ability to win the election given the latest trajectory of the national polls. She may have all the ability and connections in the world to bring politicians and lobbyists together in Washington and produce real change, but to get there she needs to inspire her people. Because ultimately, we, the American people, regardless of background, will be the ones implementing and leading her change if she is elected as the next President.

So Hillary Rodham Clinton, you have my primary vote during this election. It’s not November 8th yet, though. I can still vote with my heart.
