Confession.

I've been trying to make sense of this

But...

I cant get on the Bernie train.
He has good ideas. He marched with black people. He's Jewish and thats novel.
90% of my friends are rooting hard for his platform.

I'm not 100% Clinton but in my mind she is a known-known.
She is deeply fucking problematic this is true.




This whole Sanders circus is bring up feelings of bitterness for me because I think I am souring on people and fake mass optimism.

I keep thinking back to the high-low shift that happened with Obama. Hopes were sky sky SKY high and then when he didn't pan out to be a rainbow shitting magical negro everyone turned into a bunch of crying babies.

I cant help but think the same thing is going to happen to Bernie. I believe people have a very juvenile view of the world and believe politics/policy/infrastructure is a nimble vehicle when it's really the opposite.

A lot of people want a president to "get in there and raise some hell brother" which is why Trump has been picking up, he is selling us on the 'political outsider' angle. One who will bend the rules to make things great again.

I'm not ready to handle the screams of mass disappointment when its revealed that at the end of the day Bernie like all others is just a politician. He might have some great ideas but he still has to exist in a system of checks and balances.

I often wonder how differently the world would be if people were this passionate about local elections.


For the record, if Bernie goes all the way then I am voting like all hell for him to make sure he gets the job.
