2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why I DON'T support Bernie for President [View all]Dont call me Shirley
(10,998 posts)I was never in the top 1%, let alone the top 50%.
I was not able to financially finish college.
I never had a job that paid a living wage or benefits.
I identify with the underdog, being the family scapegoat.
I almost died from lack of healthcare due to no health insurance.
I care about equality for all, living together in cooperation
I support Bernie because he has worked tirelessly, without much support from his peers, to upend this fucked up system created by the 1% and their paid minions (Rs and Dixicrats). I would LOVE to have single payer healthcare. I would LOVE to have a living wage and decent benefits. I would LOVE to have a free education, like my Swedish father had! I would LOVE to have a clean environment and natural healthy food. I would LOVE to have safe working conditions, a reasonable workweek, a work environment that uplifts.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a long hard battle, Maggie D.
