If you want Trump to be president again, by all means, nominate that socialist hack.

Bernie Sanders: An old socialist scumbag that despite his appearing to be close to 90 years of age, will not go away. I cannot think of a politician I have more disdain for than Bernie Sanders (other than our president). His "Democratic Socialism" scam that he has been spoon-feeding to Americans for years is repulsive and he should get nowhere near the Oval Office. Even a 3rd place finish was too close for my liking.

So as someone who does not want to vote for season 2 of Donald Trump please for the love of God do not nominate Bernie Sanders. Democrats have the easiest job in the world to regain the presidency: Don't nominate someone that's the Walmart version of a Communist.

Almost all of Bernie's platform is inherently flawed and misguided and would be devastatingly bad for our economy and middle-class citizens. Despite what liberals and Sanders tell you, increasing the minimum wage by over 100% will increase prices of everyday products. More than that, flipping burgers simply is not worth that much money. A "living wage" is not something the government can just determine and make poverty disappear. The war on poverty failed because the government can never truly erase poverty, it has to be a societal change of helping one another and investing in jobs programs rather than welfare.

I have written about Sanders before and mentioned many of his flaws many times, but a new report that he could be gearing up for a 2020 run is a disturbing reality.

However, I need no more convincing that Sanders is a disaster waiting to happen if he were to obtain the Oval Office with a majority in Congress. Rather, it is the American people that do not seem to be informed on the issues Bernie gets wrong. A majority of Americans support single-payer health care which would cost an outrageous amount of money (the reason it has not even succeeded on a state level. If we want our healthcare to be run by the government and decrease its quality and hike taxes for most Americans than vote for Bernie.

Make no mistake, the ignorant mob of Americans that cling to Sanders' ideology does not validate his opinion. As we saw with the election of Trump, Americans can often make stupid political decisions.

I do not want to vote for a Trump term in 2020, please do not force me to. Republicans could nominate Mickey Mouse in 2020 and I'd hit the streets campaigning if Bernie was the opposition.

While Republicans continue to move farther right than, Democrats are also moving farther left. There is a golden opportunity for Democrats to get a president back and all they have to do is not be stupid.

Registered Democrats: Please vote for someone other than Bernie if he decides to run. Thank you in advance.

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.

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.
