106. Unfortunately, that narrow minded thinking is why we are

Feb 2016

still seeing a huge gap between the 1% and the rest of us.

Your vote does effect me directly.

D.I.R.E.C.T.L.Y.

How?

Because when enuf people elect the wrong politicians ( the fanatic right wing nut jobs, the corporate shills, the war mongers):

WE. ALL. SUFFER.

ALL OF US.

I dream of a world where I can go live in a country or a state where the elected officials care about the 99%, and because they were elected, at least a majority of the residents must have chosen those sane politicians to oversee the country or the state.

I am absolutely sick of this country voting for the worst possible candidate, the candidate that will do them the least good, and the most harm.

The rest of the world is really beginning to wonder just what we are doing in this country, and just how sane we are.

I count myself among them.

More Sanders suporter paternalism. Yawn. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #1
