I am a young female American graduate student from the state of Iowa. Democracy has failed in America because Americans hate and fear intelligent educated women like myself. A political system that does not value women is unworthy of respect and I refuse to validate it with my participation.

it’s pretty tone-deaf to be announcing the release of shows monetizing a global pandemic long before the end is in sight, and while thousands of people across the country and the world are still dying every day.

Bernie Sanders is the only candidate I trusted. The rest are panderers.  I don’t believe anything they say.  There’s no point in voting for any of those liars.

I am a young American graduate student in the state of Iowa. I am buried under a mountain of student debt and have lost all hope of ever paying it back. Neither of the major American political parties care to assist me.

I write grammatically correct English like any educated American. If that makes me suspicious in your eyes, does it reflect poorly on me, or on you?

I am a young American graduate student from the state of Iowa. I was very excited to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses but now I feel foolish for believing I could make a difference. American democracy is broken and I won’t waste any more of my time on it.

What is your point? All of us youthful Bernie backers know we’re making choices we may regret later in life, but, as you say, that’s part of being young.  Don’t deny us our dreams.
