Bernie supporter here, was strong in pushing back against the Hollary coronation. Saw cnn and others i used to trust bold face lie about bernies rallies and the nevada caucus of 2016. One of the liars was VP Biden.
Having said that i held my nose and voted for the bitch.
For me it was just another god awful super smart but unrelatable upoer crust "neoliberal" war machine candidate like Kerry and Gore. I told everyone who would listen. Not many did.
Trump is the worst thing in a series of terrible things that have happened to this omce great nation. Beginnning with the assasination of jfk, then mlk, then rfk...we just keep adding fuel to the racist fire that divides us. Reagan was a puppet, brought to us because Jimy told us the truth about our situation and my fellow dope smoking high school friends bought into the hype.
Its no wonder because i knew they were idiots.
Anyone who partied in the late seventies can testify.
So here we are forty years later, our tresury depleted, our reputation ruined, our country divided, and no heroes in sight coming to save the day.
Guess what.
It will take a new generation,,like my granddaughter who is in gunners school as we speak, she and her friends, cynical and bright to push for what they need.
Many of her classmates are idiots too.
But there are promising signs. The whole OkBoomer trend cracks me up.
This pandemic may actually create a labor movement.
It doesnt matter if Biden, or Bernie, or Warren is president. The american people will have to get angry really really angry to get what they need from the government they pay for.
Marching in the streets for healthcare, voting rights, and a decent wage and tax structure will have to occur for anything to get done. It probably will happen all over the globe. The 600 a month James Lankford worried would be too generous is a drop in the bucket. Americans need the basic monthly income and a decent health care system not based on profits for investors.
