Have you wanted to write something on Steemit that you just know won't trend? This one is mine. I can't stop thinking about writing it so I just have to do it and get it out of my system. Maybe ill be pleasantly surprised? Maybe I should just focus more about the content I write and less about trying to get my first big high paying post.
I hope there are not too many people out there on steemit who are feeling the burn (in a good way). I don't want flags for just offending people. I know how politics can be touchy to some. I do however, feel like the steemit community is full of good people above that sort of crap. Politics is actually something I really like to write about. Mostly I like to write about the insanity of it all.
Venezula is going Hungry
Bernie is a big fan of socialism. Excuse me, it's democratic socialism he believes in. I imagine some PR person told him he had to make that distinction and it wasn't even his own idea. If you haven't heard yet, Democratic Socialism is going so great in Venezula people are crying at the sight of food. Things are going pretty bad over there and they probably won't be getting any better for quite awhile. Now you would think Bernie would be all over this. Because he knows so much about Democratic socialism and he's so sure that is the way of the future. He should be able to explain where Venezuela went wrong. Or at least tell us the difference between Venezuela's Socialism and the socialism he wants to bring over here. Personally, I would argue the USA already is a socialist country but that's for another post.
So what does Bernie have to say on Venezuela?
Basically Bernie's response to the question. Is F you. I don't want to say anything because it's going to be picked apart and proven wrong by lots of people. It's gonna make me look bad so I'm just not going to talk about why Democratic socialism is failing somewhere.
That my friends is what you call an intellectual coward. When you say you believe in something so strongly you want to share it with an entire country as the President of the USA. But you don't actually want to address the reality of your own ideas at all as they happen right now.
##Bernie is Anti Establishment But Now Supports Hillary
Bernie was never anti establishment. He's a career democratic politician. He may have been an independent as a senator. But it doesn't mean much when you side with democrats on pretty much everything.
It wasn't that long ago when Bernie said Hillary was not qualified to be president. So what changed? Nothing changed. What changed was he lost his chance at the presidency so he is now serving the democrats wishes and endorsing her like the good career politician he is.
I hope all the Bernie supporters feel betrayed. I hope they feel stupid. Who Bernie Sanders really is has always been available. His voting record, him being a career politician and not being known for voting no on pretty much everything.
I guess most of all I just want more people to wake up and realize the politicians are not going to save you. Not any of them. They are like a bunch of pilots on board a crashing plane fighting over who gets to steer. It's ideas we need not elections. Things like Steemit and Bitcoin have given me so much hope for the future. Lets get the good idea out there and bern down the bad ones.
