Elizabeth Warren

I'm pretty cynical, and have my eyes wide open. Two things have happened to me, though:

I'm amazed by Bernie Sanders. I known about him for about a decade or so, and new he was the real deal. Yet, he still continues to amaze me. He is one of the most genuine and authentic politicians I've ever had the pleasure of supporting. Now, I'm an anarchist, so I usually stay out of party politics, which includes normally not voting. I did, however, vote for Obama twice. Thing is, I feel I've been let down which further cemented my cynicism.

Then along comes Bernie, and he compelled me to vote in the primary, and will do so in the General Election. I just absolutely feel that he will get things done for us.

The other thing that happened to me:

Though I know and knew about the various Congress-persons tendencies to put politics before the people, it was still astonishing to me to see some people who I admired and thought that they had our backs when it came down to brass tacks, though they still had to play the "game," well it was still astonishing to me to see some of these people absolutely dismiss us as if we never existed. This was and is an historic time, and they completely dropped the ball.

My eyes, though previously wide open, have become much wider, which I thought was impossible. I have become the very thing I tried like hell to prevent; disappointed, angry, sad surprised, and apathetic at the people, the process, the manipulations, and the whole political machinations.

The only thing keeping hope alive is Bernie Sanders. I will do what I can to get him elected, and if the Party betrays him and us, I will go back into the political wilderness, so that I can minimize how disgusted I am with the two-party system that has let so many people down. I'm through being hijacked by any of the various phrases that if we don't vote for whoever is chosen for us, that we will get a Republican president, and then being told that it will be my fault. No, turning your back on the people in favour of multi-national corporations who continue to pillage our country and its resources is not my fault. The blame resides with those who put political expediency before the people.

Edit: Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors as I texted the above on my phone. I hope I made sense.
