  2. Left is Best. So true. And also, free tuition at public colleges and universities, and trade schools.

  3. Justin D Really good questions because he is still much needed in the Senate, too!

  4. Tony Tune. Me, too. And, my contributions also had to be small and below the average. BUT, we do know that we also contributed to the total head counts of his supporters...and that also helped!! #NotMe.Us

  5. gloria jones You are so right. He should have been running for his 2nd term this month.

  6. Andrew Burke. He sure is needed there and would be a great, smart leader who would build a good team. But...but he's also still so very needed in the Senate, where he would have a leadership position. A bit of a prob.

  7.  @brucec5950  There are two Senate run-offs in Georgia, Jan. 5. If anybody knows anybody who can help getting votes for the two, Ossoff and Warnock, I sure hope they will do so! Just a thought.

  8. Jim Dot Beep. The only answer is that because as bad as many things are that Biden has done...the only other choice was beyond worse.

  9. Mary Ann High. Your comment is "spot on" and very moving to me...and MANY others, I know. An Illinois native, I first learned of Bernie in '63 when he was a poli sci activist undergrad at the U. of Chicago, fighting school segregation, etc. The You Tube video "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago" is truly fine. He'd found his life's work young, as a champion for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. It's not been easy. He won his first election to be mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, by only 10 votes, but was then re-elected three consecutive times. One big success was to help save the city's beautiful waterfront for All, from some who wanted to develop it with condos for those who could afford them, etc. He's worked for years in Congress to get an increase in the minimum wage for millions. His latest bill, with maybe 30 co-sponsors, passed the House more than a year ago...but McConnell refuses to bring it to the Senate floor. I'm so glad he's been recognized as Man of the Year by both the American Legion and the Veterans of of Foreign Wars (different years). No one's perfect, and he isn't either and would never claim to be. But how blessed our nation has been, is and will be to still have this warrior battling for us. #NotMeUs

  10.  @GoddessFourWinds  Thank you for your very important point. There have been a number of third-party candidates over the years. Have any ever won? No matter how good some might have been, it seems their biggest role has been to splinter the liberal'progressive vote...and help "the other side" win. Not helpful, no matter the best of intentions.

  11.  @brucec5950  There are two Senate run-offs in George, Jan 5. If anybody knows anybody who can help getting votes for the two, Ossoff and Warnock, I sure hope they will do so! Just a thought. Thnx.

  12. Thnx! The Senate run-offs for the two in Georgia are Jan. 5. If anybody knows anybody who could be a possible vote for them, it sure could be helpful to make a call or send an email to them to encourage them to vote. Thnx.

  13. Kira Barsmith. An Illinois native, 82 now, I learned of Bernie in '63, and have admired him over his years of public service since. "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago" is a fine You Tube video. In 2020, it came down to two choices for our nation, period. The crude, self-serving, embarrassing Trump was/is far, FAR worse than Biden (and a danger to our nation his remaining days in office). I truly believe all of us know that, down deep. Plus, Biden will be in the Oval Office next. So, we need to come together tp support him and true public servants around him (in the House and Senate, too) to achieve the best possible outcomes during these next years. Calling Sen. Senators A CHUMP is not useful, kind or true. You might find interesting his 2018 book, "Where We Go from Here...Two Years in the Resistance." Please try to see that antagonizing folks on many sides--right at the start--is no path forward to the changes we desperately need. In solidarity. #NotMeUs.

  14. Jon. We have to hope that Biden will be surrounded by enough good people, who will work hard and smart, to keep him focused and headed in the right direction. Those of us in the states with run-offs have to continue to work on to get a Dem Senate. helped by the rest of us as best we can. Otherwise, it seems there will be little hope to pass progressive legislation.

  15. BedBathNBongs Reviews. I've looked at your comment for two days now and have finally decided to ask you, "WHY in this world would you/could you be mad at Bernie Sanders??
