  1. Bernie, thank you for your tireless fight, and for empowering so many people to get involved in phone banking, peaceful protests, and voting. We must all vote in our local and state elections. There are millions of #NotMeUs! #LivingWage #TaxTheRich #AbortionIsHealthcare #UnionStrong

  2.  @LasArmas_  I completely understand about the issue with money and campaigns (don't even get me started!) I just meant that it's always been obvious (and they admitted it, too) that the DNC wouldn't let Bernie be the Dem nominee. So I do wish runnung Independent was a viable option for Bernie. I remember Ross Perot with his charts and graphs, and he actually got a decent amount of votes. George Washington was right, there shouldn't be political parties. Just individual candidates running on policies. My Dad used to say that candidates should be forced to wear a white suit, with a patch on it from each corporation that donated to the candidate.

  3. Bernie is the hardest working person in Congress. Look at what he's already done. He pushed for unemployment benefits to be extended during the pandemic. He's marched with workers to help get them $15 an hour. He does a great deal behind the scenes. He's pushed for airlines to refund money to travelers who have to cancel. Sometimes other people take credit for what he initiated, and he doesn't mind, as long as it helps people. He's inspired young people to get involved and vote. Bernie is a gem. But he's one person. It's up to Us. Each of us. Phone bank for progressive candidates. Convince your friends who don't vote, to register and vote in each local and state election. If someone can't get to the polls, offer to take them. There are so many ways we can be active.

  4. Only if he runs Independent, because the DNC will never let then be the Dem candidate.
