Well i probably wouldn't be here without Bernie. Being as actively involved in the voting process as i was that year have me a front row seat to view how thoroughly it has been corrupted.
but he didn't get me in to the Democratic party, he got me out. I remember after he was ratfucked by the biden campaign, one of his faithful asked him "so what do we do now?" and his answer,
broke my fuckin heart.
Cool story i know

As it is all we have are Internet communities and podcasts, so only a fraction of people are escaping.
