Look, when it came down to it I voted for Hilary just like everyone else because I knew Trump was a madman idiot from the one apprentice episode I saw. I've always disliked the guy and knew he was the definition of incompetent. Plus it was pretty apparent to anyone that has any amount of sense that he's a scam artist and grifter and that he is dumb as a box of rocks. Good lord is he dumb!
But let me tell you, even though I voted for Hilary, I was not happy about it. I voted for Bernie in the primary, and was pissed he lost, just livid. Now I'm hearing that he might run in 2020 and I'm hoping he does because....
- HE UNDERSTANDS THAT GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS IS STEP 1!
Look, I'm an unashamed lefty, but GOODNESS grief were my fellow progressives pissing me off during the primaries. "Bernie isn't doing enough to reach out to the black community, Bernie does not have a strong policy for women and inequality, blah blah blah..." don't you fools get it?? So many of these problems could be solved by pushing to get money out of politics and addressing economic inequality. It is literally step 1!
- HE UNDERSTANDS YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BALL WAY INTO LEFT FIELD TO EVEN TRY TO GET TO FIRST BASE
omg if I hear one more person say "his policies are unrealistic, they are not doable, he has no real plan." UMMM, hello?? Has no one ever negotiated? If we start close to center, we will end up right of center; you have to start so far left so that when compromises happen they will still be acceptably progressive policies. Plus, who are you to say what is possible or not? It's because of that single payer is even a remote possibility right now.
- HE IS GENUINE
The guy says what he means and means what he says. Hilary always tried to deflect any faults she has, and would often lie. Trump lies so often I fully believe he is incapable of telling the truth. He is a garbage person. Guess what people? Electing someone who is a good person to office will result in good things happening in office... Trump is proof electing a clown to office gets us a circus.
Please Bernie, please run in 2020. The world needs you now more than ever....
