This should be a lesson to everyone on the left: never, ever, put your faith in a politician - I don't care who they are. Elections were never gonna fix this corrupt system. Time to leave this pointless game in the dust.

Congratulations to @KamalaHarris, who will make history as our next Vice President. She understands what it takes to stand up for working people, fight for health care for all, and take down the most corrupt administration in history. Let’s get to work and win.

I see it somewhat differently. Elections ARE going to fix it, but not if we keep viewing politicians as the only people qualified to fix the mess that they created.

I'm not sure what you mean here, Marianne. Either way, I don't necessarily blame Bernie. The DNC rigged the game. So now Bernie is trying to salvage what he can. But to me, this is all about the Capitalists protecting their own while the working class might not survive til Nov.

Bernie is a politician I trust; there are others as well. But when I ran I saw an audacious political elite claiming only they are really qualified to lead us out of the ditch they drove us into. There were & are amazing progressives running; voters have to show up & elect them!!

@marwilliamson I wish you would consider voting for the #GreenParty

I agree with you there, Marianne! I support working both within the current systems when we can while still using protest & strikes from the outside. Two candidates I really want to see win now are @CoriBush & @Bradshaw2020 for those who aren't yet aware of them.

Marianne Williamson is the ONLY politician I trust.

I used to just mark all the (D) boxes. I don't do that anymore. The party has lost my faith. I'm supporting candidates on the "Bernie" platform individually.
