#feel the bern
please remember:
not many are aware, but a president is extremely, extremely, extremelyyyy limited without a supporting senate and congress.
for example, if the majority of the party is republican, as it is with Obama, most of the bills and “promises” brought up will be vetoed and denied by the congress without us knowing, thus resulting in us blaming the president when in reality, the president needs OUR help even after being selected.
voting does NOT stop after the presidential election. the president of your choice winning does NOT mean the fight is over.
if you support and want all the things Bernie Sanders is in favor of, and want to see change, please vote for a senate and congress that will support and pass these ideas as well.
so if you’re “feeling the Bern”, don’t be upset if you dont get free college tuition. so please, please, please, PLEASE… vote for a respectful, progressive, open minded senate & congress (:
Do not skip out on midterm elections. Do NOT skip out on midterms. DO NOT SKIP OUT ON MIDTERMS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Me and Joseph just voted for the first time~ Feelin’ the Bern! ❤️ Be sure to vote in the primaries, your votes count and we can’t effect change if we don’t do our part and vote!
Happy witching, and be safe, lovelies~

Hypocrite Bernie Sanders is near the top 1% - the richest of the rich - but paid a tax rate nearly half that of President Trump.
Written by Jack Hunter for Rare:
Fox News noted during an interview with Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday that both President Obama and self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders – who obviously make much less money than Trump – also pay a significantly lower rate. Obama paid 18.7 percent in 2015 and Sanders paid 13.5 percent in 2014.
That’s when Sen. Paul raised an interesting question.
“Since Senator Sanders is such a good socialist, I think he’d want to pay his fair share,” Paul said, smiling. “I’m expecting news any day that he’s gonna send a couple hundred thousand into the IRS so he can pay his fair share,” he chuckled.
Sanders has a long record of demanding that the rich “pay their fair share.” In 2016, Fortune called Sanders the “six-figure socialist,” reporting, “by dint of his success as an anti-capitalist politician, Sanders has managed to make a quite comfortable living.”
“While Sanders wouldn’t describe himself as rich,” Fortune noted, “the scourge of the 1% has income that puts him in the top 3.8% of American households, according to CNBC.”

Trying to wrap my head around how people couldn’t get over that Hillary Clinton was paid to give speeches from Goldman Sachs and Bernie Sanders calls him self a “democratic socialist” … yet they don’t bat an eye about how Donald J. Trump’s senior counsel is a former Goldman Sachs executive, who is a NOTORIOUS anti-Semite and has compared his self to Vladimir Lenin (a Russian communist who founded the USSR)

Hey, you. You’re finally awake.
I’ve put forward an immigration plan that protects children and keeps families together. It is time for Secretary Clinton to do the same.

Probably because he understands that would split the vote on the left and virtually guarantee the White House falls back into Republican hands.
Which, frankly, I would like to avoid.
Unfortunately, we live in a two-party system that just does not allow for effective third-party runs. In any case, if Bernie ran as an independent, he would not win and as mentioned above, would likely split the democratic vote. I don’t see a problem with him now running as a democrat, he has caucused with them throughout his time in Congress. Not to mention, this being a two-party system means there are a lot of breeds in both the Democratic and Republican parties.

4% - only 4% and Bernie lost by .2%. Every vote mattered, some precincts were decided by coin toss! Your vote matters. If you want change you need to vote! The youth of Iowa made a huge difference! A year ago no one would have thought a it would be close race, but we need to win by a landslide!
Imagine what would have happened if more of the youth turned out? Some couldn’t (the Caucus isn’t that accessible) and some didn’t but even with just a small amount of votes we made an impact. Imagine what we can do if more of us turn out!
Get registered! Vote Sanders!
Nevada you saw what happened in Iowa, don’t let it happen again.
In Iowa there was a reason for low turn out (the Caucus was on a weeknight, in an inconvenient location, and you had to be registered democrat ahead of time).
In Nevada you can register democrat THE SAME DAY to vote Sanders and the Caucus is on a Saturday (this Saturday - check out your time and place).
While some of us may have work this Saturday, those who don’t should try to make it out. Nevada has historically had a. youth turn out rate much lower than Iowa and right now Hillary and Bernie are TIED in the polls.
YOUR VOTE could literally DECIDE
