The very fact that Trump has been president for less than 2 years and announced his candidacy less than three and a half years ago fucks with me. I literally can’t conceive of a time he wasn’t part of our lives and I’m young but not that young.

Oh yeah, she’d be a pipe dream. But I’d still support her if she ran. If I went the more realistic route, I’d say Nina Turner.

I’m glad to have your advice but I am in some small classes and honestly have trouble connecting with people or at least feeling like I’m connecting with people in groups of all sizes.

As I said to the other commentor, I’ve been to a counselor, but had trouble with talking about insecurities face to face with a person I barely know. I might try again but any alternatives you can think of?

Yeah, I’ve gone to a counselor a couple times but I really have trouble talking to a stranger about this stuff.

There’s a lot I could write about. But it boils down to, college hasn’t been the great savior I thought it’d be for my life and now I’m ironically finding myself really homesick when before I started college I was desperate to get away.

I think it’s pretty symbolic that his superpredator moment was in some random interview that had essentially no effect whatsoever while Hillary’s was in helping to get a law passed that has subjugated black people for decades.

Yeah he would’ve 

Where is your proof for this assertion?

You mean like 3? Or were you facing annoying Bernie supporters when he was a random Senator?

Because this person is as bad as the most extreme Bernie supporter with her refusal to deal with centrist BS.

Got any better options for us to support?

This is one of the most nuanced takes on Bernie I’ve seen in a while and pretty much my feelings exactly.

He’d be fine.

Barbara Lee.
