During an election cycle alot of people have opinions and loyalties to the candidates or parties they support. What also comes about from these is frustration that can result in using social media as a tool to berate people, call them names for supporting the wrong candidate and even be blinded to what point they really want to make.
I built America Lost in Delusion with the hope to never become one of these places that would fall prey to this frustration. We try to inspire people to look outside the box and be objective. Maybe this was not realistic because everyone can fall and unfortunately, I became the one thing that I was trying to fight.
I recently realized as I was looking at some of the replies that I received on comments I made that I was falling in the wrong direction. I reviewed some of the comments that I made and some of the comments that I shared, realizing that they were starting to be biased and not the objectivity that I wanted to achieve. Because I believe that Hillary Clinton was the best candidate of the three remaining and that Bernie Sanders was an illusion of a candidate, I was letting that biased having me attack Bernie in a way that I shouldn't have.
I was responding to replies in the wrong way to the very people who used their voice to respond to my comments. Instead of appreciating their opinion, I was making comments that continued in my frustration.
Even though my articles/blogs were being objective some of the information in the articles was not giving all of the objectivity that it should have. I gave information about single payer health care but only gave from the view of a single person instead of giving for everyone. This would have changed some of the view of the article in a huge way.
I feel ashamed of myself that I have brought this upon the website and those that had the courage to use their voice. However, at the same time, I hope that by writing this I can show when we know we made a mistake, we can take a step back and make the action to go back to the original intention.
So I apologize to the supporters of America Lost in Delusion and any disappointment that might have come about from this going in the wrong direction. I cannot promise that this will not happen again but I will promise to continue to do the best job we can to give people the voice they deserve.
Our voice is necessary more than ever to change the people, the politcians and the country itself.

Thanks for your candor and being real but mostly for your desire for objectivity to make great change.
