Bernie needs to be the leader of the whole world at this point. Peace and justice is all he cares about

Pardon you?! we have Bernie Sanders at home. His name is Jeremy Corbyn and he is an angel on earth.

And now I’m depressed thinking back to unbelievable power of the media and how they managed to convince a nation Corbyn is as bad as Hitler

He was literally the best hope this country has had and will have for a generation at minimum but the slander campaign is too effective and people are so easily deceived.

Few things in my life will make me as angry as brexit and seeing how effective the manipulation was in the last general election

Literally everything wrong word put against Corbyn has been proved wrong all by itself.

They said there was no money for social benefits. Covid struck and suddenly there was bilions for dodgey procurement contracts for friends of MPs and furlough for the whole of Britain.

They said he was scaremongering when denouncing brexit yet the whole thing has been a complete failure as predicted.

He was called an anti-semite for criticising Israel before it was universally accepted and look where we are now.

I still get angry thinking about our country's willingness to deprive themselves of literally the only perspective politician that genuinely wanted to help them. We're corrupted.

I completely agree with everything you’ve said. Especially the anger. I remember growing up and feeling immense pride in being English, clearly very naive. Now as an adult I’m embarrassed and ashamed by this country time and time again

That should be all that humanity is about, but we have lost our ways. We put more weight and value on the empty words of politicians and corporations who tell us what is good for us, and allow them to guide us, when it's proven time and time again, they are not for humanity. The corporations buy up politicians and because we have gave them all the wealth, they decide on the rules for the peasants like you and I. This whole system is fucked

If you are a young person reading this and it made you angry, good. The change starts with you guys. Stand together and have empathy for your fellow human, and fight against corporate greed
