My dude, your passion and zeal for all things truth liberty and justice are being distorted by your use of the medium.
If one of the most progressive and liberal politicians in one of the highest offices in the land isn't liberal or progressive enough for you - I get it. But you need to understand you're not going to get the world you want by commenting. Or making videos. Or marching in the street.
You'll hopefully move it in the right direction, yes. But actual change - actual decisions and signatures that make heavy loads move and people get things are all done in boring flourescent-lit office buildings that don't pay much money at all. And you're not doing that, we're guessing.
Besides, Bernie's one of The Good Ones. He's got a whole career you can check out. Attacking his office is So Not Cool, that your defending-the-attack-by-inference is also not cool. That's why people are mad.
If that was your point, well, then you did wrong again. But if it wasn't and you're just trying to get us there as fast as possible through any means necessary, you might think about re-phrasing or retracting some of that.
Man, you sound like the zen I wish I could harness and feel. I really appreciate your tone and presence.
