Wow! That is BIG news and NEW news to me on the other side of the U.S., here in North Carolina. Biggest Congrats on the HUGE win...and for letting perhaps many folks know of it for the first time! @NotMeUs.

Thank you...a lot...for your important post! I agree 100%. #NotMeUs.

I saw that rally on You Tube here in North Carolina and will NEVER forget that sweet, teeny bird that landed on Bernie's podium, right in front of him! Will also never forget Bernie's happy surprise and delight at its closeness...and the way they simply looked gently at each other for several moments...until it flew on its way. The huge crowd had become as still as one after they saw the little birdie on the big screen. When it finally flew, EVERYONE just erupted! The prolonged cheering and clapping...while more than a few blinked or wiped their eyes (including me)...was also unforgettable. No one there, or who sees the scene only on You Tube, will EVER forget the birdie who also came to cheer Bernie on. A once-in-a-lifetime memory. I'm beyond grateful that the scene is still available on You Tube. At 84 now, I first learned of Bernie in 1963 from the now famous Chicago newspaper photo that showed a policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation. I also loved his "ideas then and now" and how he's tried to better our nation using them. #NotMeUs.

Biggest congratulations to You All...from All across our nation! That's North Carolina for me! #NotMeUs.

A Champaign native here, retired in North Carolina now. You can imagine how thrilled I am to read your post. It started today (6:39 a.m., Tuesday, 11/29/22) in the best possible way. Our nation sorely needs Bernie and Friends. Tons of volunteers are helping in Georgia now. Warnock truly is a MUST. #NotMeUs.

11/28/22 now. Just wanted to say "Hi" as the mom and niece of Marine vets (my only son and my late only uncle). Thank you, sincerely, for Your Service!! An Illinois native, somehow 84 now, I'm retired, too, except for very selective part-time work and extensive volunteering for Bernie. I volunteered for Bernie in '16, '20 and again now. He is just the best, has been ever since I first learned of him in 1963. No surprise, I really like the You Tube, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago." Am so glad it's still available to showcase just how long he's worked for #NotMeUs. Best Wishes 2 U.

@IAMSONICTH3H3DG3H0G Joe Biden? I don't hear him very much, but I'd sure like that for him! And, for him to complete more of his sentences...and more of his "ponderings," too. But, the (few) latest clips I've seen have seemed to confirm the opposite. His normal, gentle voice is harder to hear, too. Still solid when he's "on a good rant," tho'. !!

Tama Marquez. What a beautiful statement. I agree with you/it 100%. Wish I'd written it! Tremendously impressed and glad that you did!! #NotMeUs.

@BlastedBS Yes from me, too!

@stellaoh9217 Could you please cite your "all studies" because I surely do disagree. Thanks. #NotMeUs.

Well...... This post presented a topic/issue that I had certainly never...ever...heard of before! Thank you, Gail, for educating me! Is it new to any other posters? #NotMeUs

@ItzzCammss You do not hurt Sen. Sanders with your post. You do show that you might want to read up on his work of a lifetime after becoming known to many of us--including this Illinois native, way back, from a 1963 newspaper photo. That picture, still in circulation, showed a Chicago policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation. Since then, he has championed consistently the issues most important to me...and to millions...including civil, economic, gender, racial and social justice.....and peace. #NotMeUs.

@crt8355 I've always been taught--and have believed--that we are all sinners, each in our own way...and that God and Jesus love us anyway! (?)

Yes. Running for his 2nd term now! #NotMeUs.

10/16/22 Biggest Thank You to You, Topher. Dean...from North Carolina! #NotMeUs

@maces1405 I believe you'll like what you learn. #NotMeUs.

@katherineraven6381 Thank you for your post. I second it strongly, of course. No, Carl Jensen, you Go away! You are an example of someone who thinks it's OK to post lies on You Tube to support your position. It is not, and more and more of us are calling folks like you out about doing so. Stop it. #NotMeUs.

@kerseyatwell4475 No. Wrong. Never. You strike out w/ both of your incorrect opinions. At 85, I still wonder why ANYONE would choose to write such an outlandish and totally erroneous post about Sen. Sanders. Bernie is a democratic socialist...take a second to look that up. In part, it means he supports public schools, public libraries, public health, public roads, etc. ETC. You should be ashamed to have your name associated with the lie that he has a mansion in Martha's Vineyard. He does not...and never has. Please do not post those two lies again. #NotMeUs.
1
@dangerman5617 Thank you for your important corrections re Kersey Atwell's two-pronged, erroneous post. It seems it would be hard for Sen. Sanders to hold champagne with his mittens...to try to comment lightly about #1 and exercise good humor. It's impossible to ignore as gently his 2nd comment that Bernie has "a mansion in Martha' Vineyard." It's such an old, many times debunked jab, as you noted, that I especially ad to wonder why he posted it. I've decided that he had hopes it would attract newer, uniformed readers. Too bad for him he got us. #NotMeUs.

@kerseyatwell4475 Sen. Sanders does not...and has not...lived "past his means" in any of his posts as a true public servant over many years. First, as the re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city, he has had a home in Burlington for a l-o-n-g time. By the way, Burlington received national recognition during his tenure. Next, as a re-elected Congressman and then/still a re-elected US Senator, he also acquired a small place in D.C. Hard to think that choosing to commute from Burlington all the years could be considered by Anyone to be a more cost-effective or efficient alternative. Do you know that, during the years, Bernie was honored for his service with the highest national awards from both the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (in different years)? Not to forget that he also earned honorary degrees from two educational institutions. He became wealthy only in recent years and due to a specific endeavor. He wrote a very well-received book, Our Revolution. It was #3 on The New York Times Best-Seller List and also published in China, England, France, Germany, Serbia and South Korea. It educated many in the U.S., and in the world, about important issue, and its success permitted him and his wife to acquire a very modest home on a Vermont lake, a nice and well-deserved perk for their family of four grown children and seven grandchildren. An Illinois native, 94 now, I first learned of Bernie in August 1963. It was from a Chicago newspaper photo that showed a policeman "helping him to the ground" for marching against segregation. The NAACP got him out of jail the next day. He has worked hard, long and consistently on the issues most important to me, and to everyone I know, including civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and peace. You might find other useful info in his Congressional bio. #NotMeUs.

@kerseyatwell4475 Both of your points are just Nonsense. You should be embarrassed at posting such lies. Please take time to see DANGER MAN's post(s) below for some good education. Sen. Sanders is a Democratic Socialist. Take a second to look up the definition. It means he believes in/supports public health, public libraries, public roads, public schools, etc. Unfortunately, my longer reply to you here--in case you would find it interesting or useful--somehow got bounced to the very end of this list. #NotMeUs.

Exactly. Precisely. #Bernie.

WHY is the audio on this--and so many other fine posts by Sen. Sanders--so low that it's very hard to hear At All?? It's now November 12!! I've posted about this audio problem a goodly number of times before--for months--as have several others. Is Sanders' staff just not monitoring his very important posts at all? If so, why not??!! #NotMeUs.

In the Bronx, right? I've heard that he was a pretty good runner at that time. True? It seems he could be a pretty good graduation speaker for y'all this spring. Has anybody thought about inviting him? Considering his schedule and the multiple demands on his time, he'd probably have to get an invitation fairly soon! Just a thought. His parents both died young...I don't know the details...but that's how he happened to go away to college at the University of Chicago, I've heard. The You Tube, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago," was especially interesting to me, a Champaign, Illinois, native. #NotMeUs.

@Gimmesumchorizo Don't know what you're talking about. ??

IW I sure agree. I'm 84, an Illinois native, who first learned of Bernie in August 1963, from the famous Chicago newspaper photo still in circulation of a policeman "helping" him" to the ground for marching to support school integration. The NAACP got him out of jail the next day. He's consistently worked for All of Us with his truly "deep understanding of fairness and equality." #Bernie.

I don't know about "only"--but we sure do need more congressmen and governors, etc., like Bernie! Did take a bit of a step in that direction with the mid-terms, it seemed. #NotMeUs.

Did you by any chance mean "stay"? #NotMeUs.

Yes. It would be much better for Joe Biden--for his place in history...and for America as a whole right now--if he declines to run for re-election. The photos of him tripping up the stairs to his plane or falling off his bicycle would be shown more and more as the '24 campaign heats up. As would his occasional search for a word, halting speech and other gaffes. Etc. It would be interesting who he might name as his heir apparent. Re Bernie...A healthy momentum for him is just plain "out there" spread out in different areas all over our nation, including on various You Tubes. It's consistent, no matter how early it is...and no matter right now what he himself eventually feels and decides about running. That said momentum has been showing up and noticeably building over a diverse variety of sites in the past months...and it gives no hint of declining. A flip side to consider is that there are trolls out there sniping--untruthfully--about him, and many more would surface should he be a candidate. They routinely seem to feel no need that anything, let alone everything, they post must be truthful. An Illinois native, 84 now, I first learned of Bernie in 1963 from a famous Chicago newspaper photo, still in circulation, that shows a policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation, in Chicago schools, etc. It's included in the excellent You Tube, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago."

Thank you for your VERY interesting post. I have seen that '24 pairing for Veep/VP quite a few times on other posts in recent months. But, yours in the first, that I've noticed, on this one. It is a strong pair, to me, for several reasons: Both accomplished public servants. Both superior, dynamic public speakers. Both fearless. Both always well-versed on the issues at hand. Compelling as a pair: 1) male/female. 2) east coast/west coast connections. 3) a bit older/a bit younger. Bernie with fine academic credentials, from the University of Chicago, and I suspect Katie has similar. All of it, hard to top by any other duo I see on the horizon at this point. Would be interesting what their "camps" think. I can see one banner already: "VOTE FOR MORE IN '24." #NotMeUs.

@CreatineNich How I agree.

Me, too! He would have had such a progressive 1st term, helping All of Us, and now heading into a powerful 2nd term, to again benefit All of Us. #NotMeUs

@R-M18 No. Grace is not "crazy." But you....are wrong. And national awards to Sanders from both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars reinforce the strongly felt position in our nation that Bernie is a true patriot for all. #NotMeUs.
