Bernie Sanders: An old socialist scumbag that despite his appearing to be close to 90 years of age, will not go away. I cannot think of a politician I have more disdain for than Bernie Sanders (other than our president). His "Democratic Socialism" scam that he has been spoon-feeding to Americans for years is repulsive and he should get nowhere near the Oval Office. Even a 3rd place finish was too close for my liking.

So as someone who does not want to vote for season 2 of Donald Trump please for the love of God do not nominate Bernie Sanders. Democrats have the easiest job in the world to regain the presidency: Don't nominate someone that's the Walmart version of a Communist.

Almost all of Bernie's platform is inherently flawed and misguided and would be devastatingly bad for our economy and middle-class citizens. Despite what liberals and Sanders tell you, increasing the minimum wage by over 100% will increase prices of everyday products. More than that, flipping burgers simply is not worth that much money. A "living wage" is not something the government can just determine and make poverty disappear. The war on poverty failed because the government can never truly erase poverty, it has to be a societal change of helping one another and investing in jobs programs rather than welfare.

I have written about Sanders before and mentioned many of his flaws many times, but a new report that he could be gearing up for a 2020 run is a disturbing reality.

However, I need no more convincing that Sanders is a disaster waiting to happen if he were to obtain the Oval Office with a majority in Congress. Rather, it is the American people that do not seem to be informed on the issues Bernie gets wrong. A majority of Americans support single-payer health care which would cost an outrageous amount of money (the reason it has not even succeeded on a state level. If we want our healthcare to be run by the government and decrease its quality and hike taxes for most Americans than vote for Bernie.

Make no mistake, the ignorant mob of Americans that cling to Sanders' ideology does not validate his opinion. As we saw with the election of Trump, Americans can often make stupid political decisions.

I do not want to vote for a Trump term in 2020, please do not force me to. Republicans could nominate Mickey Mouse in 2020 and I'd hit the streets campaigning if Bernie was the opposition.

While Republicans continue to move farther right than, Democrats are also moving farther left. There is a golden opportunity for Democrats to get a president back and all they have to do is not be stupid.

Registered Democrats: Please vote for someone other than Bernie if he decides to run. Thank you in advance.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
