  1. I agree about the Dems. At 84, I fear a bit that a new party would be very hard--maybe impossible--to "get off the ground' in time...and successfully. But, I believe we--as a nation--really do need Bernie as POTUS. So, how to help make that happen? I just don't know. Would/could the progressive "Our Revolution" that he basically founded be a cornerstone? #NotMeUs

  2. Just FYInterest, here's my thinking. Sen. Sanders has far more power and is doing far more good for us and our nation as chairman of the powerful Senate Budget Committee than anyone--even Bernie--could accomplish as V-P. President is another story, and many (including me) agree with you. He could have been well into his second term now, on his way to being one of our nation's greatest presidents (based in part on powerful legislation and executive orders). Now, a good number of voters have already posted early that they want Bernie to run again ("Third time's the charm") in 2024...and they believe he would win. He'd made a heroic effort in '16 and '20, but the expected primary vote for him did not show up, either time, in part due to the DNC. In '16, Sanders campaigned, generously, for Clinton, but she couldn't beat Trump (as Sanders would have). In '20, Bernie said he would not primary his friend, Biden, if Joe decided to run...which he did. Altho' Sanders has gotten a large number of requests to change his mind about primarying Joe in '24, he has not given any indication he might be inclined/or could be persuaded to do so if Biden would decide to seek a 2nd term. #NotMeUs

  3. I understand how frustrating the tired, old refrain is to some of us. But, I also understand how some of us truly feel that each election recently really has been "the most important election ever!" Sigh.....

  9. Indeed! You are blessed! Very Happy for you all, and Best Wishes to you all. Sen. Sanders often mentions their four children and seven grandchildren as part of the important reasons for his thinking and actions re "down the road."

  10. Hhmm.... Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. I've also mentioned such a pairing in casual conversation. Do you have any idea how Senator Sanders or Katie Porter feel about your suggestion?
