Someone who has actually had an American experience. Someone who's been homeless, who's worked more than one job just to barely make rent. Someone who's viewed home ownership as a pipe dream. Someone who's waited tables. Someone that's done drugs just for an escape. Someone who's lost friends and family to those same drugs. Someone who's had a total stranger express hate for them just for being outside the in-power group.
No more of these disconnected rich pricks who don't really know how the average person lives.
Damn girl, you want ME for president.
government by the people, right?
by the formerly homeless waitresses who have lost family to drugs, anyway
