I peace out of politics when my first vote was Gore and, yeah. Then I got back in around Obama and made a video game about how stupid his first election was and have gotten more and more Left ever since. I'm basically the youngest group of Xers, I guess.

Seeing what happened with how most all of Obama's incrementalism has been so easily walked back has soured me so much on gradual change. Seeing Warren pick M4A, but maybe later soured me on her. All the other BS since then has just made it worse.

From Charlottesville on I stopped browsing 4chan, cut ties with most friends I met from there and dropped a lot of words from my vocabulary. I can't really point to one crystallizing moment, for me it's been a slow and steady slide further left as a result of living and working in Silicon Valley for the last 10 years. Nothing opens your eyes to the failures of neo-liberal policy quite like passing by five homeless camps on the way to work in the city with the largest amount of millionaires per-capita.

Watched a bunch of Frontlines regarding the financial collapse and the one about Slick Willy's economic appointees allowing the deregulation of derivatives even in the face of the warnings of the person who was in charge of overseeing that market and then those same people being appointed by Obama after they helped collapse the economy was blood boiling. Said Frontline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19H2PTRTzJs

UP AND ADAM posted:The paradox of low-paying jobs being more onerous and restrictive than higher paying jobs where you can put in maybe few hours of work per week and just find ways to kill boredom for the rest of your workday is pretty universally felt by me and my friends. It's so laughable and obvious that I can't believe there's still the myth of the deserving wealthy person. Lol yeah I sit on my phone all day posting while making more money than I ever have, and then I think back to getting paid half as much to walk around delivering mail for ten hours a day in the pouring rain. This system is garbage and it needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up.

Seeing Warren pick M4A, but maybe later soured me on her. All the other BS since then has just made it worse. I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I hope that the people who soured on Warren* also realized that it was possible to realize she was bad long before she explicitly walked back M4A. There's a reason many of us knew she couldn't be trusted from the beginning of the primary. This is important, because it's possible that a "competent Warren" might come along later, who waits until after the primary to walk back their support for left-wing ideas. * this has been one of the more surprising and heartening things to happen during this primary - to be honest I did not expect so many Warren supporters to change their minds after that

There's a reason many of us knew she couldn't be trusted from the beginning of the primary. My hope is that Bernie can get the presidency and prove that larger scale change can work. Right now there are a lot of people who like Bernie's ideas but only as future states, because they think change has to come slowly and incrementally. If he can get enough done in four years to change minds on that, it opens the door for more leftist candidates with even more radical platforms to gain traction.

There's a reason many of us knew she couldn't be trusted from the beginning of the primary. Warren was my second choice, my safety school candidate. I really thought she would be a good president if she got the nod. Then she backtracked on M4A. That was what did it for me. Now I'm 100% behind my first choice candidate: John Dela-wait, what? Seriously, though, Bernie or Bust
