Dear Bernie: Stop

Re “Sanders’ choice: The revolution at a crossroads,” June 8

-

Here’s my open letter to Democratic presidenti­al candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders: I am an 84-year-old Socialist from Brooklyn. You have been a hero to me for many years. I am amazed by what you have accomplish­ed. You have succeeded in moving presumptiv­e presidenti­al nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party to the left. You created a movement that has involved young voters. You set goals for our government to reach for. The whole world knows who “Bernie” is and what his beliefs are.

But movements seldom succeed in their first election. The difference­s between the Democratic and Republican parties are wider than ever before.

Donald Trump is not capable of being our president. Clinton is clearly better prepared to lead the country both in foreign affairs and domestic issues. Please, Bernie, do what is right and needed for our country. Put your support behind Clinton now to defeat this dangerous demagogue. Walter Kornbluh, Sherman Oaks
