Two weeks ago, I said on CNN that I was not only leaving the Republican Party but the conservative movement altogether. My reason: For far too long, conservatives had turned a blind eye to racial discrimination in this country and ignored the struggle that young people are facing growing up here in America.
My ascension in conservative politics was almost meteoric. I made a name for myself bashing President Obama, vilifying liberals, and raging against the Black Lives Matter movement.
While I articulated my words with conviction, I spoke them with a limited and clouded worldview. I'm honest enough to admit that. As I matured, met new people, and embraced new ideas, my worldview expanded. My political views evolved.

I left the Republican Party, I left the conservative movement, in favor of a revolution. A political revolution in which Americans rise up together, caring less about the party line and more about quality solutions.
That's exactly why, on December 9, I endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders for President of the United States. Like me, Senator Sanders is fed up with the status quo and politicians who talk a good game but fail to achieve anything. The political establishment has screwed America over and political dynasties have torn America apart.
Americans are struggling and they're not interested in empty rhetoric or petty partisanship. They're interested in results.
Labels divide us. However, our struggles unite us.
Let us learn together. Let us grow together. Let's win together.
My generation is watching. Set the example. Set the standard. And I promise, we'll take note.
In closing, President Obama put it best:
"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America...There's not a black America and white America...there's the United States of America."

Two weeks ago you also told us that CNN was lying.
Your words: "I've gotten all of your messages, tweets, and posts! No worries guys - CNN just got a bit too....excited with their headline.
I still hold conservative principles but I just stepped away from the label. I wanted to be me, not what others wanted me to be me from any party. The issues facing America aren't liberal or democrat...they're real issues that demand solutions. I'm in this game to be an objective voice for my generation and I will do just that!
Thanks for all of your support and not prejudging before getting my explanation."
First you tell us that CNN got too excited with their headline, now you tell us thats exactly what you told CNN. Way to take your first step into supporting a socialist: with a lie.
"Like me, Senator Sanders is fed up with the status quo and politicians who talk a good game but fail to achieve anything."
What do you think Sanders is? Hes a politician that talks a good game and fails to achieve anything. Which in a roundabout way is a good thing. No one but his fellow socialists wants Bernie to achieve anything he wants.
"The political establishment has screwed America over and political dynasties have torn America apart."
Agreed. And Bernie wont prove to be any different.
He’s a troll.
Then you were never a conservative. Only a moron would leave conservatism and jump to socialism.
Holy sh*t, it didn’t take long to get him back on the democratic plantation.
He’s a child, isn’t he? I mean literally a child.
"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America...There's not a black America and white America...there's the United States of America."
Barry said that? Well, we all know he lies a lot.
Hey C.J.! Don't let the screen door hit you in the ass little buddy.
P.S. There WAS a United States of America until your president fundamentally deformed it. Well....Bye! - Curley Bill Brocious.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
That’s right. I can respect someone who is a liberal if they really are young and idealistic and naive and haven’t discovered the truth and meaning of conservativism yet. But someone who goes from conservative to liberal? No! That person is just an idiot!

Stay aware. Continue reading different viewpoints. Work hard on your studies. Avoid things that can mess up.
You’re a good kid. You still have a lot to learn. Give yourself time. Good luck. I’ll pray for you and your family.
1) Pose as a conservative.
2) Renounce conservatism and embrace not just liberalism, but socialism.
3) PROFIT!
He was conservative for what? A couple months?
There’s a universally understood symbol explaining this:
$$$$$
Then you were never a conservative. Only a moron would leave conservatism and jump to socialism.
I remember some lady calling a radio talk show host and she said she was leaving the republicans because they no longer agreed with her values, which were pro-choice, anti-gun, etc.
i.e. she was lying. As is this person.
>>Labels divide us.
When I see a person whining about labels, I know that the dumbass is strong in that one. Labels are nouns, a word that is used to describe a person, place, or thing.
The only problem is when the words that describe a person like CJ Pearson have a history of failure: whiny crybaby, Socialist, etc.
That’s what it sounds like.
Progressive taqiyyah ... or trolling, whichever ... Conservatives believe that if blacks embrace conservative principles they will be fine ultimately, individually and as a collective. For someone to suddenly go from Conservative to full-on Bernie Sanders socialist isn’t maturity or wisdom, its delusion ... the same delusion that created public policies that decimated black families and destroyed cities.
His benefits and food stamps got renewed.lowbridge needs to be banned. Loose lips sinks ships.
Respect him or not, he is young. 13 years old.
