  1.  @TheMazza202  Very Glad to see your post 1/23/20. It was uplifting and appreciated! I have respected and admired Tulsi especially since 2016, when she stepped down from her high DNC post (vice-chair, maybe?) to protest the shenanigans by the DNC, Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others. Schultz lost her position, and Donna Brazille even apologized to Bernie, but.... Only a few days now to first vote, the the Iowa caucus. How I admire the volunteers out in the temp and snow! I don't think Bernie has to be 1st at all, but it sure does seem like he'll do well.

  2. Twomix I'd only add for me, here on 4/19/21, "...'especially with the days of Trump', and...Thanks Be...those are at least finally gone now.

  3.  @wikiales  YES. 1/21/20. America has a Second Chance! The Iowa caucus, #1, is almost here! Bernie doesn't have to win it (altho' that would be Extra Great), but we know--with his dedicated volunteers on the ground, diverse endorsements & donors--he'll be off to a Good Start. He is still--always--the Very Best for All of Us!

  4.  @JoshawattGaming  Isn't this a sad memory here on 1/21/20. Starting with so vulgar, which was so especially shocking to me, now 81 y.o.. And now the 3rd to be impeached in the history of the United States. But...we have a Second Chance! Everyone...if we all just do whatever we can, I believe our 2nd try can be successful! #NotMe.Us

  5.  @TheMazza202  1/21/20 now. Just came back to this site. Wanted to see/hear "America" again. I believe we have a 2nd chance now, with Sen. Sanders. I'm 81 y.o. now. DJT lost me from the first because of his vulgerness, but he has surpassed that and embarrassed us in the world now. Please take another look at the good Bernie has done.

  6.  @rufinomiguel7031  1/21/20 YES. !! I came back to see "America" yet again, and it is just as inspiring as it was in 2016. Our nation has been given a Second Chance. I'm 81 y.o. now and have seen Bernie as authentic and consistent since 1963 in Chicago. #NotMe.Us

  7.  @KennyBolinStarMaker  And it's even gotten worse since you wrote. But...1/21/20 now. I'm 81 y.o., and truly believe our nation has been given a Second Chance. We each just need to do whatever we can to help Bernie help us.

  8.  @tonytune4342  Thank you so for your substantive comment. 1/2/20 now. So MANY issues need Bernie, including the Fight for $15. He's worked for so long to increase the minimum wage. From 5 co-sponsors for his bill, up to 30+ when it passed the House in July. Of course, McConnell won't release it for a Senate vote.

  9.  @brextonolesky-lee8231  Perfect observation! "*should be" comes to mind, too! ;-) 1/23/20. Only a few more days 'til our "grand"experiment" (to quote whomever) w/ takes another very public mini-step in some direction. #NotMe.Us

  11. brrrrr12 2016 sure became a bummer. BUT. America has been given a Second Chance! Here we are at 1/21/20, Bernie is leading in the Iowa poll, and thousands are braving the -teen weather and the deep snow to canvas for him! ETC. He doesn't have to win Iowa, but a good showing would be very uplifting on to NH. Do join us, however you can.

  14.  @adriang247  I sure do, too! Plus, I put a good portion of blame on the Sanders' campaign media staff for both of his campaigns. They didn't pay enough attention to, and follow totally, the famous instruction: It is not to "get it 'out'." It is to "get it 'in' and/or 'on'...Which "they" didn't manage to do for our best candidate for president...twice.

  15.  @clowntime420  Actually, Bernie has been an Independent forever, since he was the thrice re-elected mayor of VT's largest city, Burlington, then the re-elected lone VT Representative in Congress and now the re-elected junior U.S. Senator. He does caucus with the Dems. And now, April 2021, due to his seniority, he is the new chairman of the powerful Senate Budget Committee, still working hard and smart for #NotMeUs

  16. Ferny C. It's now 1/19/21, and I feel the same way...still. I just saw this here for the 1st time on You Tube since Bernie's presidential campaigns. Was glad to see it out there to remind us all again. Thanks be, due to his seniority, Sen. Sanders is now the new chairman of the powerful Senate Budget Committee. Is already working smart and hard on his multiple plans and hopes for #NotMeUs from that post. Funny how some already coincide with his core issues during both presidential campaigns. ;-) He'd found his life's work young at the U. of Chicago, as a champion for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. And has never stopped. I'm an IL native, 82 now, am still moved by an early You Tube, "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago."

  17. Scotty Stimpson Thank you very much, both for your service and your support of Sen. Sanders (w/ which I 100% agree).. An IL native, 82 now, I grew up in Champaign-Urbana just a few miles south of the very special Chanute Air Force Base. My only son is a Marine as was my only uncle. My only brother-in-law, a paratrooper. A petite but strong grandmother made sure I would have some education about our nation's military history via the DAR, back to a young private in the American Revolution. She often said we were "Republicans since Lincoln, and Whigs before that." Some strayed, voting for FDR and Adlai Stevenson, as did I with my first vote, for JFK. Have been a Dem, with lapses, ever since, as other family stayed Rep, with lapses. Like you, we also sought "the best option"...and that was Bernie Sanders for me, starting in 1962 when he was an undergrad activist against school segregation at the U. of Chicago, then took a busload to DC in 1963 for MLK's historic "March for Jobs and Freedom" and famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Bernie had found his life's work young as a warrior for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. Along the way he was named Man of the Year by two of the nation's largest veterans' organizations (different years). Thanks to his seniority, he is now the new chairman of the powerful Senate Budget Committee and already at work re multiple diverse issues such as a long overdue increase in the minimum wage for our lowest paid workers and universal health care for #NotMeUs. Best of Good Fortune to you Always....

  18.  @ootoot2152  /s. Love your succinct reply. Seeing it for the 1st time, 4/19/21

  19.  @strawberryanimation9294  After being the most impeached president in the history of our nation...also the most crude (etc.)...I think America is safe from him now--April 19, 202l--and he won't return. True Justice for him now could mean jail time, in addition to the huge financial ungluing of his "empire" that is also already in progress. An IL native, 82 now, I've been a Democrat--with a few lapses--since my first ever vote, for JFK. But I have family who have been Republicans since Lincoln...and Whigs before that--also w/ a few lapses. FDR and Adlai Stevenson come to mind. Trump, and some others now, have only temporarily, I hope, shamed a one-respected opposition party. With Sen. Sanders as the new chairman (through his seniority) of the powerful Senate Budget Committee, I now have hope that All-American values (increasing the fed minimum wage and securing universal health care as just two examples) have life now, supported by patriotic Republicans, for helping all of #NotMeUs.

  20. Ditto for me. And I'm watching it, again, on 4/19/21.
