I vote in every election, I knock on doors, I phone bank.
But in the end it doesn’t matter. When the DNC decided Bernie Sanders wouldn’t be their guy and rammed Clinton through, they got sued by Bernie supporters for cheating.
They said in court, for the world to hear, that yes, they cheated, yes they broke their own rules to make Hillary the pick, but rules aren’t laws and no one but the DNC can enforce the rules, so fuck all yall we can take your donations and choose who we want.
Everyone knows this now. No one believes in the system. Is very hard to get people to set aside this knowledge and get excited about a candidate that we would actually want, when we know who ever takes the most bribes gets the nomination.
Then nobody wants to vote, the ones who really don’t want republicans do it anyway, but nobody is happy about it.
I live in California (hence the Newsom hate) and it’s incredibly easy to vote here. Even before universal mail in was a thing, I never waited more than 5 minutes to vote. People in red states wait upwards of 8 hours much of the time. No one is standing in line for 8 hours to vote for someone they really don’t want anyway.
Bernie is another one, how do you demand that we remove all the old white men from power while demanding sanders? I want all of them out, on the right and left. Bernie has great ideas but he can’t even win the support of one party, how is he gonna win the whole country? Pick a younger candidate
The problem is not that they are old and white, it’s that they are taking corporate bribes and don’t give a shit about the next generation.
That’s not the case with Bernie. He’s too old now, but ten years ago he was more than good enough to make up for his oldness and his whiteness. Making himself a platform for AOC to stand on was a good thing as well.
“Killing is bad”
(Crazed shooter begins murdering people in a crowd, policeman aims a gun at him)
“No! Don’t shoot! We can’t make exceptions to our rule, it would only make us as bad as him.”
I wouldn’t say a “policeman” would do that (see uvalde lol). Nowadays I trust a regular ass dude (who isn’t a conservative nutjob) with a gun way more than any pig.
Again, the problem its not “ old and white” that would be stupid. It’s that a majority of the old white people take corporate bribes and care more about power than anything else. This applies to young non white folks as well. They also need to go if they take bribes and care about staying in power more than helping the people.

I’ll take AOC for sure but I won’t make exceptions for Bernie. There’s no point to a rule or belief if you make exceptions

Not sure why this is confusing…
