I've Got A 'Berning' Feeling Joe Biden Might Be Our Only Fighting Chance Against Trump

I'm OK with missing the Democratic primary and I'm becoming OK with voting for Biden.

I've Got A 'Berning' Feeling Joe Biden Might Be Our Only Fighting Chance Against Trump

As 2020 continues to throw curveballs at us, I can't help but wonder what's yet to come. In my case, I have to pick a career, register for classes, and vote for the first time. I can't help but wonder if all my support for Bernie Sanders is worth it. What I mean by that is, does Sanders still have the chance to beat Biden and win the Democratic nomination?

I don't know the answer to that question but, hopefully, we can all come to a consensus by the time November rolls around.

My primary voting date is Tuesday, March 17, but the problem is I work all day and I will be an hour away from my voting location. Is that an excuse to not use my voice and vote to help change this country for the better? No, but sometimes life gets in the way. I'm not avoiding the primary on purpose and I never would because I have so much anger and emotion to be poured into this decision. I am just slowly coming to the conclusion that Sanders might not come out on top at the end of the day.

We should vote blue no matter who, right?

A lot of people will say that this is my first election and I don't know what I'm talking about, but I've been keeping up. Bernie is everything this country needs to revert back to the America we once knew and now need, but a strong majority is fighting against this change. Yes, we are at such a critical point but transitioning from Republican right to the Democratic far left might not be the answer. As much as I want my student loan debt forgiven and Medicare for All, let's face it, people don't like change. A moderate candidate could either be the best thing or worst thing for us — but better than Trump nonetheless.

As much as I love and support everything Bernie Sanders stands for, I don't see this as a complete loss.

Of course, I'm sad, but I know that there's still a chance for both Democratic candidates against Trump. I think people are starting to wake up but too few too late. What we can do now is take our anger and turn it into good. If your primary has already passed that's OK, but encourage your friends to go vote — and remember to vote in November!

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.
