Vdub 10/24/22 now. Biggest Thank You for your post from this 84 y.o. Illinois native, now a North Carolina retiree, who 100% agrees with you. I first learned of Bernie from a Chicago newspaper photo in August 1963 that showed a policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation. Later as a thrice re-elected Vermont mayor, then re-elected US representative and now an honored, re-elected US senator, he has continued his hard and smart work on the issues most important to me, including civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and peace.
How I do so hate to read the work of trolls who persist in writing their nonsense (more accurately, lies). Anyone who knows Bernie's history also knows those people are trolls. But, I still do worry a bit about even the very few new posters who could be seriously misled/influenced by the nonsense of people like Richard Gleason immediately above. So, every once in a while, I try to do my part to counteract their posts and thank the millions all over the world, like you, who know Sen. Sanders is a rare and so consistent treasure for All of Us. NotMeUs.

@wlbond008 It is beyond unfortunate that you want to bash Sen. Sanders so much that you resort to untruths, especially since your statement has been debunked so many times you have to know what you're posting...and choose to do it anyway. Sanders has had a home in Vermont's largest city for a long time, including during his thrice re-elected tenure as Burlington's mayor. Sanders was next his state's re-elected U.S. congressman, after defeating a long-time, wealthy Republican incumbent. He's now in his 3rd term as U.S. senator. During these years he, of course, kept his home in Burlington AND now also has a small place in D.C. Don't you think that is a much smarter/less expensive/more time efficient choice than trying to commute? Bernie's most recent house (#3, there have never been "four") is a small place on a Vt. lake. It came about because his most recent book, "Our Revolution," became a bestseller (ranked #3 The New York Times Bestseller list...and was also published in China, England, France, Germany, Serbia and South Korea. Well-deserved as a family retreat, most would think, since he has 4 children and 7 grands. #NotMeUs.

@haroldbrown5308 I feel the same way! And, over many months, have learned that MILLIONS of us do, too. An Illinois native, I first "met" Bernie in 1963, from a Chicago newspaper photo of a policeman helping him to the ground for marching to support school integration in the city. A You Tube of it is still available, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago." The NAACP got him out the next day. Over the decades Sanders has continually been in the front lines fighting for the causes that are most important to me: civil, economic, gender, racial and social justice...and peace. He is now the chair of the powerful Senate Budget Committee, also a continuing member of the Veterans Committee after a progressive tenure as chair. Along the way, he's earned national honors from both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and is the recipient of two university honorary degrees. For a youngster, Bernie has a great record as a public servant-starting as the thrice re-elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city- and continuing as a US representative, now in a 3rd term as a Us senator. At 84, I would be so glad for the opportunity to volunteer for him again. #NotMeUs.

@grammaticopedanticus9727 Thank you. 1st, for your suggestion that more people" listen carefully," which I believe too few do...and many more must...while they also view and read more carefully. I seem to hear. see, read more references to him as a democratic socialist, but the distinction re as a social democrat is perhaps a bit fine for me. I know he supports public education, public roads, public libraries. Etc.
And, as an Illinois native, 83 now, I also know that he's been consistent with his views...and work...since I first learned of him in August 1963. That was the summer he became known to thousands from a Chicago newspaper photo (still acailable4 on You Tube) that showed him being "helped" to the ground for marching against segregation. (Maybe 21 y.o., he was already a working member of our nation's three major civil rights organizations.) The NAACP got him out of jail the next day. He promptly organized a busload to DC in support of MLK's historic March for Jobs and Freedom (with his memorable "I Have a Dream" speech. He's not stopped working for us since. NotMe.Us.
