@JJ8KK Thank you for taking the time to reply to MrSwagTurtle's question. And, I thank him for asking it! I bet a lot of folks, especially very rich folk, could have the same question but not asking it. They are just out there continuing to "stew" about Bernie's emphasis on helping "the rest of us" when that help for US "would not impose any material suffering on rich people of any kind." I first learned of Bernie when I lived in Chapel Hill, NC, in the midst of the state's biggest efforts to thwart segregation at all levels. In 1963, I saw two Chicago newspaper photos of Bernie, a poli sci undergrad student protesting school segregation: 1) being dragged off to jail by two policemen, the NAACP got him out the next day, and 2) ankle-locked to another protester--young, female, Black and already on the ground where he was headed. Bernie had found his life's work early as a warrior for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice ….and for peace. Even now--in the midst of the campaign--his latest of many attempts to get the first raise ever to the federal minimum wage passed the House in July. But...it is one of some 400 bills Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) has refused to bring to the floor for a vote. Bernie's Fight for $15--to secure the first-ever raise in the original $7.25--is just one part of his consistent, comprehensive effort to help those of us not in the 1%. #NotMe.Us

@SamJohn52 Thanks Australia! ;-)

super man Yep. 11K v.100 now. And, we are still fighting for them, too! As Bernie said at that fabulous 26,000 NYC rally: "Look around. See someone you don't know. Someone who maybe doesn't look like you. And fight for them, too!" Yep.

Virginia Lawler Love and Thanks to Austria from North Carolina!

N B. Many Thanks 2 U!! It was great to see, down below, support from Chicago Carpenters Local #10, too. I have a good feeling that Bernie's forever support for unions is going to help him Big Time in the primaries & the General. #NotMe.Us

@daisyelmir1289 and @Casey L. One of the approx. 400 stalled is Bernie's--to raise the fed minimum wage of $7.25 for the 1st time since it was enacted. After years of work, his "Fight for 15" passed the House, with 30 co-sponsors, in July. But McConnell won't release it for a Senate vote. Trump would veto it anyway, but still....

KANAM1T What a fabulous memory! You'll never forget it! 3-IN-A--ROW! He's pulled closer to Biden in SC., but still a way to go for #4 on Sat. Anything you could do (Click support, post, call with a local Sanders group, etc.) might do it! ;-)

@MAl-xz7lc Too obscure for me and maybe for others. What do you mean?

@MAl-xz7lc Ha. Got it. Love it. Thanks. Know you won't mind if I borrow it.... ;-)

@__Andrew Thank You!

WHY ???

C Cuddy Yea! And SC on Sat. is "possible" for 4 in a row! Bernie has gained to be a close 2nd to Biden now, but still... Anything we can do could make the difference! We know Bernie won his first term (of the four) as Burlington's mayor by only 10 votes! Anything we each can do can help: vote (of course), click support to others, post, ETC. ;-) #NotMe.Us

justgivemethetruth Interesting. I didn't/don't at all feel the way you do. The wonderful support of Nevadans as a whole is widely reported, as is every state's. I think it is terrific to especially encourage and welcome and thank the HUGE # of Latinos who turned to do so much, extra, for Bernie (sponsored soccer games, tamale dinners, etc.) in addition to the fabulous 78% who voted! Don't know where your words, "subliminally pits," "inflames," "provokes" come from or why. I certainly support your right to transmit them...just regret you felt the need to do so. #NotMe.Us #Medicare4All

Mario Sanchez How I hope you're right. He's sure giving it his all, as always. Thank You for your encouragement! Wish you could vote, of course. Anything you can do to encourage others would be so much appreciated. #NotMe.Us

xx zx zxzxx Thank you helping Bernie! I truly believe his Medicare4All is the right way to go. I hope it can get passed and will help you! And, I hope you can "keep at it" and get good help sooner than Medicare4All can be enacted. #NotMe.Us

Boston 508617 Why would you do that? It would do No Good at all, certainly not for Bernie or the good coalition he'd bring into our needy government. And, it would reinforce the very wrong, but very strong negative view some already have of some Bernie supporters! And, it would turn off partnerships he must have to accomplish what he's works so hard to bring about for our country!! I really hope you had a truly Grand Vent and will hang in there for Bernie when...still "if"...he can win this still huge challenge over Trump--who we know will not play fair!! #NotMe.Us

@damiensmidt6708 Such an unfortunate post. Very sorry you chose to make it. You have (conveniently?) forgotten Romney's impressive, strong stance recently, as the ONLY Republican to do so? You're right that "Trump has more to him than a claim to money," but hard to think of One Thing that's good...and "character" certainly couldn't be it. Don't bother to reply to slam me. I won't be back on this to see it.
