Politics is hard and a learning process, the young people you are around they are not the norm. Young males went in for trump because of inexperience, manipulation and believing they are owed something like women’s bodies. They have not learned to discern bullshit. You must sacrifice your time and resources running a campaign also fight the system like the gentleman running for mayor of New York City. I’m glad you love Bernie but he has passed no major legislation that he has written since being a senator also his lens is very narrow. The only thing that will save this ship is everyone voting for what is best for this country, like universal healthcare, no food insecurity and housing for all. Do I think that will happen?
