I have never been excited about a presidential candidate before. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but I fucking love Bernie Fucking Sanders. I went to college in Vermont in 2005-2007 and that's when I learned about him. Lots of folks in Vermont seem proud to be represented by the fellow.
Having been a regular follower of the conversations and content shared on STP over a few years, I suspect that many folks out there could give a fuck about an election. Still, as someone who got actively involved in many of the political protests of my generation (Afghanistan War, Iraq War, US Uncut, Occupy Wall Street), and I've been involved in local organizing, mainly around feeding folks in the street, homeless rights and various other local political engagements - I feel compelled to see how folks out there in STP-world are feeling about the possibility that a presidential candidate might offer a meaningful challenge to the established order. I feel silly even hoping that that might be the case, but if it were anyone else other than Bernie Fucking Sanders, I wouldn't believe it for a second.
