Why the hell can't we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿

You have Bernie Sanders, AOC

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a "moderate" Democrat who, while he's gotten a surprising amount done, isn't exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.

Honestly, the stuff he's gotten done over his career has been life changing for me. I hate that I have to give him credit for legalizing cannabis, but here we are.
