Well.. I could barely sleep last night. Woke up this morning and contacted sanders local chapter and volunteered my time between March 20-April 20th (I have a break from school).
Yes, it always looked like the establishment would ensure some way, some how that Biden was the nominee. That doesn’t make it okay or a good thing. I went over his website last night and he is proposing absolutely nothing. I can’t even figure out what his message is. The only reason to run him is to ensure that either trump wins again or that the corporate Dems are protected if he doesn’t. This isn’t what’s good for the country or the people and I’m kinda tired of watching this play out personally..
I had sworn I’d never vote and kept that promise until the 2016 primaries when sanders ran because I refused to vote for the lesser of two evils - his campaign was the first time I didn’t feel like that was a choice I had to make. This country can’t sustain more of the same for much longer.. and I hate how politicians play on fear - on all sides - to ensure we stay stuck here while the rich just keep on pushing things through to advance themselves at our expense.
@weskrongden no Pennsylvania didn’t vote yet but you can look at their voting record and the fact that so many support trump to see they are also mostly “low information voters” - the white population here is a super majority, in many places it’s over 90%, some places it’s like 99%... so what is their excuse here?
And yes many people here are worried about immigrants but it’s due to fear mongering. Not any real threat to their livelihood. There aren’t any immigrants around. The bigger threat to the people of Pennsylvania is offshoring and lack of investment, infrastructure, and shitty labor laws/right to work. If they were HIGH information voters they would know this rather than patching onto immigrants as scapegoats when regionally this isn’t even a factor.
