Hi hon,
That's what we've all been saying. Sanders should have been on the ticket. I take the blame even though I voted for Sanders, and even contributed to his campaign. I know where he fault lies. At least I won't say "hey, it's not MY fault". Yeah, it's fucking my fault. Did you watch the video? I'm not sure you did. Because you just did what he said caused it all. Making it Hillarys side vs Trumps side.
We all live in an echo chamber thanks to FB and such. Almost all of us. I guess people hear what they want, and tune out the rest. It's really pretty exhausting. I know I do it all the time, it's really hard to make myself stop, but I'm trying to, right now. But it's hard when everyone is angry and yelling at the "other" side. I'm taking a good, hard look in the mirror and realizing that
But don't worry, it's not your fault, you didn't even vote for either of them, so you can safely wash your hands of it. (there, see, I just did it again too, but I don't know how not too. We are all deplorable).
I watched. A lot of what he said was stuff that I was already thinking and trying to explain on the protest thread, mainly saying that everyone who votes for Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, etc. That's just pushing people away.
PS- It's not your fault, as you said you voted Bernie in the primaries.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
