just how fed up the American electorate is with entrenched politicians and their loyalty to corrupt corporate America.
We are ready for something different. Something off the beaten path.
I never thought I'd be considering voting for Bernie Sanders. NEVER. Yes, I do agree with many of his positions and he's the only one speaking out on a host of progressive issues that matter to me. But seriously
I never thought his speeches and political events would garner this much attention.
It could happen.
Americans are done. They have almost tuned out politics, because it seems hopeless with corporate America deciding when we go to war, what poisons we eat this week, the horrible trade deals our country will join, how dirty our water is, how many unwanted pelvic ultrasounds we'll experience and what
lethal pharmaceuticals we'll be exposed to.
We're just done. And if all that America has to offer this time around--is another Bush and another Clinton--well, screw that.
At this point--I'm for any meaningful change that will knock our political system off it's corrupt axis. If that's Bernie, then so be it.
