How A Bernie Sanders Supporter Is Coping With A Hillary Clinton Future
Religion News

On July 25, 2016, Bernie Sanders spoke at the Democratic National Convention. It was clear that the Bernie supporters had come out to see him, shown by the floods of people with signs with ideas similar to that of "Bernie or Bust". But by the end of Bernie's 30 minute speech, the crowd was shown again and instead people were seen holding up "Bernie" signs on top of Hillary's "I'm With Her", so they now said "Bernie With Her".

I agree with Sarah Silverman, "Bernie or bust people are ridiculous."

Bernie started a revolution, that will not end until things improve, but revolutions take time. He showed that the United States is ready for a change just by the large amount of support he got. Flashback to when Bernie first started his campaign, people thought that it was a joke that a socialist would even have a chance, but boy did he show them wrong.

He united a lot of people who saw problems with our country and showed that together we can and we will make change. All is not lost. Bernie may not be the presidential nominee but that does not mean this fire has gone out, "berns" don't go away that fast. But for this revolution to continue, Donald Trump can not become president and the absolute only way to prevent that from happening is to vote for Hillary Clinton.

I don't like Hillary, to be straightforward, I think she is too closely connected with big banks/business. But all this being said. she is not a fascist and I do not think the Bernie or bust people realize what a vast difference this really is. This is not the election to vote for a third party candidate or decide to not vote to make a stand against the electoral process. If you are doing this then you are basically giving another vote for Trump.

It is hard for me to vote for Hillary too, I feel like she has no respect for Bernie supporters, and honestly Trump may be trying harder to get Bernie supporters votes. Bernie's fight is not over, but it will be if we vote for Trump. Our country still has a chance if Hillary becomes president. With a Trump presidency, this country will end up in a deep hole that will take years to fix. We want to continue the revolution not stop it. A vote for Hillary is a chance at a future to believe in.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
