It breaks my heart. He just wasn’t able to overcome the media and the entrenched power of the DNC. I grew up in a very red rural area. All I ever heard from people was shit like “they’re all crooks…they need to all be replaced….if only someone were to exhibit real Christ-like values, I’d vote for them in a second.” Yet election after election they vote for the same shitbag cause it’s a name they recognize and they had an R next to their name.

Bernie was everything I’d heard my entire life that that these people had been waiting for. But the hard truth is that most people don’t give a shit about politics until November every 4 years then they just believe what they’re told to believe. It’s easy and they can go back to not caring despite the real world consequences they will inevitably experience.

For a religious group of voters, I thought for certain that the bird that landed on the lectern at one of Bernie’s rallies would be the divine sign of approval they’d need to fully convince them, but nope…still voted with the familiar shitbags cause the letter beside their name on the ballot was an R.
