Why are so many people ignoring the Bern?

I have never once heard anyone say "Trump would be a good president." It is either said under bad circumstances like "Well at least he's not Hillary!" or "If I had to choose, it would be him." The worst way (in my opinion) is people saying "I LOVE Donald Trump" in such a way that people love Kim Kardashian or The Real Housewives. THAT IS NO WAY TO CHOOSE A PRESIDENT, PEOPLE. You should be saying "He is going to help people" not "Well he's not this other person and I don't have a choice so yeah him." The thing is you have a choice. Literally. So there are Republicans and Democrats right. Trump is the GOP nominee and guess what... Hillary is not the Democratic nominee yet because of one thing: BERNIE SANDERS. Who do you think is preventing her from gaining all the delegates?

It is not even confusing me anymore because it is now making me angry. If you think Trump and Hillary are the only two choices this November you are being lazy, uninformed, and quite frankly ignoring the power of the position you are about to put the first two asshats in charge of. The future of our country (in my humble opinion) is at stake and if you are not taking it seriously I am going to do something about it... Such as write a scathing op-ed article about how you need to get your head out of your ass and actually vote in the best interest of our nation, not because "He's not Hillary!"

All I am asking is that you do your research. I understand if you do not like Bernie's policies... But do not discount him because he is being treated like a non-contender. He is an option and he has the ability to beat Trump AND Hillary in predicted primary polls (by at least 10 points when I checked last Wednesday). And he is not a misogynist so that is a huge plus.

Now if you choose to vote for him (although if you are a woman, a minority, a poor person, an ugly person, an immigrant, a rapper, or a human being I have no clue why) that is your prerogative. The only thing I ask is that you better be making the most informed decision of your entire life before deciding to cast that hallowed vote against the most hateful, degrading, spiteful man I have ever heard (let alone the possible next POTUS). Just please do not forget about the option behind door number three.
