I have examined where my loyalties lie, you judge, I'll explain my position.

33. Thank you for this eloquent post.

I have been marginalized for the past eight years. By this, I mean that I've been un- or underemployed, I've been near homelessness at least four times (actually, I'd have been living in my car), I've been unable to get a job teaching math, of all things, because I'm "over-qualified" (but, really, it's because I'm old), I've had to create a GoFundMe campaign twice now, and I'm currently qualified for food stamps and Medicaid.

I struggled with ennui each time I was jobless. Oh, and self-blame. Now, I have a job I really enjoy -- non-medical caregiver for the elderly -- and I pursue my art in various forms, in ways that don't cost me money -- just a wee bit of gas in the car. I'm learning knitting, wood carving, and blacksmithing. Life's a big rush for me, and has been most of my life -- except for those times when no job and no income resulted in ennui (and shame).

So, my decision to support Senator Bernie Sanders is a highly personal one. And, because of my experiences, and those of many of my closest friends, I cannot wrap my head around why anyone would support Hi11ary.

Feeling the Bern!!!
