I feel as though I am at a cross-roads in my career, which is pretty presumptuous considering I have over a year before I get that Bachelors (God willing). I just got a job at the working families party doing canvassing. Despite my experience, I still took this job because I'm sure that by the time I graduate, I'll be out here being a canvass director.
However, the conflict lies in this: the Working Families Party works closely with the Democrats, but beyond that, they have gotten themselves into a position where they are at the Democrat's mercy. They, unwillingly, endorse establishment democrats for fear that these well-known figures will destroy their reputation if they try to go against them.

Often vegan products or companies trying to appeal to vegans will label their products “cruelty-free” which then becomes very controversial since that is often not true, something or someone had been exploited. The point of veganism has now become to live as ethically...
