Bernie Sanders: Life Is Not Fair (So Get Over It)

When I was a kid I always was told life isn't fair.

Bernie Sanders: Life Is Not Fair (So Get Over It)
mother jones

When I was a kid I always was told life isn't fair. When I was a kid I understood that if I went over to a friends house and I didn't like what was for dinner it would be nothing but disrespect to yell and scream in hopes to get my own way. I understood that if a richer classmate got a better baseball bat, hit the game-winning home run with, and my team lost, there was nothing I could do but better myself, and my team.

Based on what has happened in the last few weeks and through the election Senator Sanders weren't taught these valuable lessons.

Even if the nomination process, ( not the election of the president) isn't fair there is nothing that can or should be done but for the supporters, and Senator Sanders to better themselves.

Senator Sanders has done nothing to better himself as a possible nominee in the past, as he has an independent his entire life. Senator Sanders didn't encourage his supporters or possible supporters to register as democrats as soon as he started running in order for them to vote in the nomination process no matter what state they life in.

Senator Bernie Sanders has never sat down with the DNC to set the platform for the party and therefore has no room to complain about the values they stand for. Sanders never offered a menu item for dinner, but has no problem yelling and screaming when he got to the Table and they served chicken, and he wanted steak.

And when it comes to the money raised. He is facing the rich kid with the nicest bat, bought by his parents while he has the cheap one that he bought by saving his birthday money. He may have the less money but instead of working on his skills, and becoming better he rather yell, and cry because he struck out when there were 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth when the rich kid hit a home run.

with all analogies aside what Bernie Sanders is doing is very dangerous for people who support the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders is using rhetoric that causes more tension than needed. In a year where very important senate races on the line the party intentions was to have a presidential race that would be without tensions, in order to help guide, and unify the party in all 50 states in order to win back the senate.

Doing this is the most effective way to in order to get domestic policies passed. And let's not forget the hateful rhetoric he uses towards Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee for the party she and her husband has built will make Sanders, and independent fans from voting for her. A once unlikely scenario where Donald J. Trump wins the presidency becomes more of a reality.

So this next time Bernie Sanders starts complaining, about the "rigged system" he should remember lives not fair.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
