It took me a long ass time, I was a pretty big :LIB: circa 2006, marched against the Iraq War in 2005, was too young to march in the one in 2003 in the lead up to the war. Supported OWS, went to the one in my city.
It was honestly the Obama administration radicalized me. The way they handled the bailouts, didn't put up a fight and let all the CEOs get their bonuses while their companies went to shit, Snowden revealing that Obama was taking what the Bush administration started, and expanding it, I was looking for alternatives to explain why all this keeps happening. I still felt that maybe Bernie could turn it around in 2016. I went and voted for Hillary because I live in a swing state, but I didn't like her. On election night I didn't freak out, because she ran a shit campaign and it wasn't that surprising to me. After that I started listening to Chapo and the rest is history.
