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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
