If Bernie Was President

Life would be so much different if instead Bernie was in office right now... Just imagine his first "executive" decisions. Probably something crazy as fuck but at least it'd be tied with some fucking humanity. Like anything he'd propose would be fucking crazy but always with good intentions. Trump's first move was like super predictably shitty. Right? Like, regardless if you support him or not, his first executive decisions were pretty lame. I'll never know why abortion seems to be the most important thing to address, Mr. President.

But then again, I must think about Constantinople and what it must have been like, as its wall that stood for a thousand years, was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman's introduced how effective the cannon was. First of its time I believe. 1453 was the year. Imagine standing behind that wall and listening and watching and feeling it break and fall. And as you sit there in the smoke and roars of a cannon for the first time, but the thing you can hear clearly is the screaming of the Ottoman Empire. They are coming. And no one can protect you. Can you even imagine it? A wall that has protected one of the most sacred places for a thousand years tumbling. The entire city of Constantinople all thinking about how they're about to be raped, killed, tortured, or sold off to slavery. Every. Single. One.

After thinking about that, I realize that it isn't THAT bad that Trump's president.


However, if we lived in a reality where Bernie won. I think things would have been restored. By things, I mean humanity and progress. Look, whoever you are reading this, we're just people, you and I. We should get basic rights and just because of where I just so happened to be born, shouldn't dictate how you view me. It's completely and blatantly obvious that life is unfair and it places people on such a random spectrum. But what you and I know is that we're human. And I think Bernie knows that. I think he wants more people to realize and understand that because the man is STILL fighting for our rights. After Hillary won, she went silent. She pulled a Ronda Rousey and let's be real, no one likes a sore loser. Bernie fucking lost SUCH a long time ago, and yet he still fought for what he believed in. Even AFTER finding out that he was being shit on by the DNC. He would have addressed the need for acceptance in America. He still fights for that today but if he was in office right now, getting all comfortable and shit, he'd make people happy. Even though grouchy Americans that blame their problems on everything but themselves. The thing about him is that he has principles and an honest heart. He probably woulda proposed a lot by now, involving effective healthcare, reconstruction of the broken educational system, instituionalized racism, and the very present division that presides in America. Truly think about it. Do you really believe that life would have been that bad if the old man made it? Do you think, after watching him talk and listening to what he has to say, that he would ever have intentions of trying to ruin you?


Now, remeber that we elected a Reality T.V. Star into office with a severe God Complex.

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.
