12. Bernie should have followed Obama

and we would have never had to deal with the likes of 45/47. I just marvel at the opportunity costs we've had to endure because we didn't elect Bernie in '16.

Yes, a woman needs to be President and I was hopeful for a few candidates but obviously, the most qualified candidate (ever) white woman and an educated qualified Vice President black/Indian woman wasn't picked (or was she?) so, let's get another Democratic socialist who is in their late 30s early 40s that can connect with people their age. We need a revolution of political change especially for their future. I'm old. I won't be living those years like they are right smack in the middle of their life; now is the time to make significant and history making change.

We must end Gerrymandering, Citizen's United, closed primaries, expand the Supreme Court, mail in voting for everyone, healthcare for all damn it. People are dying, women are dying in slave states like Texas for having a medical emergency that requires them to go septic before life saving treatment is given. Those doctors are freaking cowards for not giving those women healthcare to save their lives.

But listen, it's not just women that need healthcare, there are children, the disabled, and their mental health care is desperately needed since Reagan closed the hospitals during his term. (fuck him by the way). The homeless want their dignity back. Everyone needs a roof over their head and food to survive and thrive. We are humans but we're acting like savages toward one another.

We need a revolution and my heart hopes it's the quietest revolution ever. I do not want to see anymore blood loss.
