Senator Sanders,As you said in your speech Monday night at the Convention, no one is more disappointed than you. When I heard that, I realized it was I owed you an apology. You see, Senator, I have come into the world of politics because of you and your campaign. I loved and breathed politics, probably to an unhealthy amount. (Just ask my girlfriend or Facebook friends.) But in doing so, it awake a passion in me to believe that together we can bring about the change America so depaarately needs.So I began phonebanking, donating, facebanking, sharing every article I could and being more vocal in political discussions. But I could've done more. I never canvassed. I stopped phonebanking after a while. I donated less and less. Gradually, I became a supporter from the sidelines and I have no good reason for that.I'm not naive enough to believe that I alone could have made a difference in the outcome of this election, but I do believe you deserved 110% from your supporters and I was not giving it to you.I don't know if you'll ever read this, I suspect not. But I hope you know you did everything you could, in my view, to win the nomination. While that did not happen, you have inspired me and countless others. I know that might not be enough, but it is a start.Thank you, sir, for continuing to be a shining beacon in a very dark and scary world. I hope you can forgive me for not putting as much effort as you did. I also hope that by the time I reach my 70s, I'm half the man you are.No matter what, you will always be my hero.I'm not sure if this post will be upvoted, downvoted, brigades by trolls, or deleted, but thank you everyone who reads it. I wanted to express my feelings and this community has given me a place to do that. The motivation this sub gives me is something unlike any other.Let's keep fighting, folks!
