Like Sasha I used to be blue. I donated to the Obama campaign but it was when Obama turned a blind eye to the Wall Street mortgage crooks in 2009 that I realized this game is rigged. From that time on I decided to vote for the people the media hates. Trump completely plays that part.

You must mean, the blue media hates, because the red team media loves Trump. LOVES him. I liked Bernie for your opening reasons. But only a real nutcase would go from Bernie to Trump. ha. just kidding.

I liked Bernie in 2015 when he said open borders was a "Koch Brothers proposal." He changed his tune in 2016 and essentially supported illegal immigration. I'm not remotely nutty, I've realized that the powerful people that hate Trump also hate my class. There isn't really much red team media. FOX used to be a red team and the others were balanced between the 2 parties but these days it's a complete shift to the social left (labor issues are no longer part of the discussion). Only in today's world is a right winger someone that doesn't support puberty blockers for kids even though these same kids are too young to drink, smoke, or drive. I'm definitely voting Trump because his opposition has gone "nutcase."

Fox is still red team, and they love Trump very much.

I have read all of Bernie's books. Really good criticisms of the US elites running banks that were too big to fail, and Big Pharm and so forth. He is very working and middle class conscious, and most certainly, this was the reason that the dems chased him away.. Don't remember the I support illegal immigration part, though.

Certainly, if Trump wins, we are helping to create a record to later explain the reasons, and you and Sasha have legitimate gripes. The social extremes that you reference are idiotic and should be called out.
