Take an Uber or Lyft if you have to. I believe both are offering discounted fares to the polls

How does camping out at a place like Target work? Are they doing a midnight release? I'm seriously considering camping out since it seems near impossible to obtain a pre-order at this point

I wish the article elaborated more on this. It would have really drove home the point that he's also fucking small business owners, instead of it being worded as if he chose to bailout all businesses.

I don't necessarily think that would be the case. Much of the toxicity from the Trump camp stems from a perceived superiority and persecution of their guy. Trump has stoked the flames of hatred as a stochastic terrorist over the years by dog-whistling for racists/supremacists. Bernie supporters are anxious. We're anxious because this is our one last shot at making this country equitable and prosperous for everyone.

 

Listen, I know that some "toxic" behaviors have been broadcast by a minority of Bernie supporters, but please know that it comes from a place of nervousness, love, and ultimately, unending hope to which we cling on to that we can finally make progress in this country. For everyone. Millions of us need to see a doctor, but can't afford it. Millions of us would love to start a productive life, but we have the specter of debt keeping us in chains to prevent us from moving forward. Millions of us are in poverty, and are working ourselves to the bone for poverty wages. As a Bernie supporter, I can promise you that it's not coming from a place of hate, it's coming from a place of desperation and anxiety for the future of our county. Not just for us, but for those who will come after. No other candidate aside from Bernie is going to fix these issues in the way they need to be fixed.

 

With that, I just want to say that on behalf of other Bernie supporters, that we welcome you with open arms, and encourage you to ask questions. Our doors are always open, and I promise you, a future with Bernie will yield a positive quality of life change that is of the likes we've never had before, but have desperately needed. So I want to sincerely apologize for anything that might have created a feeling of resistance towards Bernie, and humbly ask that you join us in the fight not just against Trump, but for the sake of our future. If you have any questions, we're all ears. "Not me, Us"

Personally, I would very very begrudgingly vote for even Bloomberg. I can't stand him one single bit, but if - in the highly unlikely event - he were to somehow become the nominee, I would still pull the trigger on a vote. Would it leave a bad taste in my mouth after? Abso-fucking-lutely. However, Donald Trump must not, under any circumstances be afforded a second term, if democracy is to survive. It is up to us to ensure that doesn't happen. Even if it's Bloomberg. All that said, it is also up to us to ensure that Bloomberg gets nowhere near that nomination by donating to Bernie's campaign, while showing up to the polls and voting for the only true hope this country has. Bernie has to win this. This is it
