23. I wish I could

But sadly, I remember when people would call my dad and my family "spics" because the union saw them as a threat. Gee, you could have reached out, but No...they wanted to keep using the teamsters fund as the load to build Vegas casinos. And a lot of the people that treat Bernie like their boy are imagining when Union Labor meant white labor, and then a lotof those people who could only buy that big Florida house because of their pension all of a sudden decided they got their, screw everyone, and then voted for Trump.

As for the young firebrands, they seem like they want to skip to the social justice stage without bothering to help those who will NEVER be given a slice of any pie, regardless of how big Cenk or Jill order it baked. They still like the fact they know that they will never be the ones shot by cops, or that the bank will favor them over anyone black or brown. We know this because we are the unpaid interns getting you bastards coffee, and hearign you bitch about problems that make feeding our kids look like a vacation.
