This is me being the person I want to be

Clearly this is not my year. But! We are only just halfway through so we’ll see how soon 2017 comes.

Good luck sleeping on a hot Friday night like this.

I don't mean as an entity because 'Bernie Bros' is a non-entity that now seems to encapsulate all and any supporters the stereotype can possibly apply to. I mean as a slur. To write off all white male supporters of an opposing party is, dare I say, sexist, and racist, as exemplified in this piece, and in the original one, and echoes of the "OBAMA BOYS." If you need a little faith, here’s a nice one, and another to rinse that bad taste out of your mouth. The hashtag is clearly a disingenuous narrative meant to distract from the issues to be discussed. I can only imagine the sort of uproar that would erupt if these mystical Bernie Bros were to fire back, "HILLARY HAGS" (Disclaimer: I actually like Hillary and don't deny the outright sexism she faces, but as feminism dictates, the opposite sort of discrimination does exist.) My point is that this sort of catch-all phrase is a propagandistic, unproductive platform that only serves to derisively divide. They’re out there, call them actual bernie bros if you must, but I wouldn't call them that, I'd call them the sexist, misinformed trolls they are, unworthy of such a title. I understand the frustration all sorts of supporters have with each other, when it seems the opposing party is so dismissive of whatever beliefs one personally holds. But deal with it. To dismiss your dismissers by coining them so-and-so name is outright bigotry, prejudice in practice, and hypocritical. Now I just have to wait for someone to call me a Bernie Bitch.

Love is the addictive drug, deliriously poisonous, but also its own antidote. I should harness it like the special potion it is instead of spilling it over everything like glitter.
