@zoyadulzura7490 He sure is--and one of way too few to have shown such a spine, repeatedly, over the decades since. An Illinois native, 83 now, I first learned of Bernie when he was a poli sci undergrad at the U. of Chicago. The now famous photo in a Chicago newspaper in August 1963 (still circulating) showed a policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation. When the NAACP sprung him from jail the next day, he began organizing a busload to DC for MLK's historic March for Jobs and Freedom later that month. He has been a strong voice since--as a thrice-re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city, then a US Representative and now US Senator--for the issues I've cared most about: civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. NotMe.Us.

The thought and time you put into your post is recognized. You requested comment, so here is my 2 cents. 1) Many, MANY of us--like me--would still prefer Sen. Sanders to be our next President. 2) Many also consider Climate Change to be the most wide-ranging problem we, and the world, face. I think a bit differently--that our leader(s) need to finally get crackin' on a whole list of issues (civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice for starters...and peace). Those all MUST be addressed more seriously and effectively starting now.
America has shown during its young life a remarkable ability to "walk and chew gum" at the same time, and Sanders is still our best representative to lead us to do that. Doing so must become our nation's overall national policy soon, before our time runs out.
Finally. To me, you lost tons of readers with your very 1st point. There is No Way America would consider a national directive limiting any family to one child. And, your post is too long for this kind of venue, even if more organized. Sorry.
