Say hello to Adam; he started his own website Political People Blog. He says Bernie is his hero.
He started the website five months ago to engage in political discussions. Being helped by a few good political writers, he has gotten a readership of 150,000 people a month. This teen believes progressive policies can bring about political changes. He said:
“I couldn’t step back as a mere spectator of the disintegration of the middle class, the spread of social deprivation and a worsening of the economic states’ of third world countries. I decided that if there was any way whatsoever that I would be able to influence this world, spark a change, introduce people to innovative policies – then I would do it.”
Besides managing the site, he also does some writing and engaging with readers. Writing around three articles a week, he does up to three days of research for one article. They also have a Political People podcast, interviewing progressive candidates.
Despite what some people might think, he is not a Hillary hater. He just thinks Hillary is not as left as Bernie. Adam stands against the demonizing of her in the conservative media. Electing Hillary would definitely be better than eight years with Trump or Cruz.
Adam just agrees with Bernie’s proposed policies more than Hillary. Corporations are not people. He also believes in women’s reproductive rights and social democracy. The teen wants to aid in stopping the erosion of the middle class. Adam also agrees with the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The Political People website also covers issues in Ireland and in the United Kingdom as well as political opinion pieces.
