The Disregard of Politicians

          The state of the USA in the world of Covid-19 is sad.  It’s a world of fear, uncertainty, rage, disgust and desperation.  This pandemic will cause bankruptcies, home foreclosures and a lot of longstanding medical problems in anyone who had the ‘bad’ strain of Covid-19.  Another factor that is really tragic is how hungry people are.  There are so many people in line for the food banks that it’s shocking.  Now, how can we fix it?

          In all honesty, I have no idea.  That isn’t my job and it’s apparent politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have no answers.  I believe that they only concern themselves with showoff speeches and clever tweets.  What’s disturbing about the both of them is the fact that they think giving to charity takes away the images of people waiting in line to get items from the Food Bank.

          Any politician in their right mind should be up all night worrying about this and the idea of people losing their homes should be making them crazy.  However, there is no empathy there- there’s just a tweet and another fake promise.

          Here’s the trouble with politics in America.  Twitter has made an environment of people trying to find a hero and people can’t seem to get it through their heads that politicians aren’t meant to be heroes- they’re meant to be employees of the people.  My biggest fear is that the disappointment of Bernie Sanders will reignite the jumping (again) of the AOC bandwagon and people will believe every single thing that she says.

          The whole political system in the USA is screwed-up.  A lot of people are talking ‘yellow vests’ and ‘revolution’ but to get past all of this people need to get 2 things through their heads…

1.      Bernie Sanders wasn’t the person that you thought he was.

2.     And there are no political heroes. 

Will anyone take my advice?  I doubt it.  People should but there’s that spell

known as Twitter and critical thinking is now an endangered species.
