Oop

Okay this is funny, because Black tumblr was dead pushin everyone and even they mothers to vote for Bernie Sanders! I can’t tell y’all how many posts I came across encouragin people to register to vote and vote for Bernie Sanders!

Bernie Sanders got your vote because he acknowledges that the police brutality in America is extremely critical in today’s society and a reform must be made to change the way the police behave and act towards us, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS BLACK PEOPLE.

Bernie Sanders got your vote because he wants public education, including public colleges to be free.

Bernie Sanders got your vote because he wants healthcare for all citizens.

Bernie Sanders got your vote because he marched to MLK the day he made his “I Have A Dream” speech and organized resistance to segregation.

He got your vote because he believes that minimum wages should be higher for everybody, is aware of global warming, AND is aware of economic inequality.

but the MOMENT y’all hear that Bernie Sanders voted for war on Palestine, all of a sudden, you aint supportin’ him?

Like y’all expectin this nigga to be PERFECT!

Y'all was ridin’ his dick from the moment he announced his race to be the next US president, and y'all praised him for every word he said just moments ago!

Now he loses all credibility because of a vote? Y'all fake as fuck. Who you gonna vote for now? Hillary?

SHE AINT NO BETTER THAN YO MAN BERNIE!

Bernie is the best candidate currently running. When it comes to politics, you don’t vote for the good person; you vote for the person that sucks the least

Bernie Sanders wrote a letter he published in the early 1970’s, when he was a candidate for governor of Vermont from the Liberty Union Party, Sanders invoked freedom to call for the abolition of all laws related to homosexuality.

Notice that not only did Sanders call for equality (whereas Clinton had been a major opponent of same-sex marriage and equality till 2013) and an end to the drug war, he also talked about the need to tax corporations, end unjust overseas wars, heal the environment, women’s rights (including abortion!) and empower working people.

If nothing else, Sanders has been extremely consistent for the last FORTY years.
