@Geopolitic157 1/26/20. Thank you, very much, for taking your time to explain thoroughly...precisely...and nicely the Friedman/neoliberalism problem for Yang...and the totality of problems Yang would face. The results of his inexperience alone would be immeasurable, no matter his good intent. Down the road for him...who knows!
In contrast is Bernie's totality of relevant life experience, starting back from when I first learned of him in 1963 as a poli sci undergraduate activist at the U. of Chicago (protesting school segregation). (I'm 81 y.o. now) He went to jail for that--bailed out by the NAACP the next day. There's a fine You Tube, "Bernie Sanders & Civil Rights in Chicago."
Bernie got himself to D.C. later that month to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with "I Have a Dream" at his tremendous March for Jobs and Freedom. He had found his life's work early...has been a consistent champion ever since for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. Everybody knows nobody is perfect. But, Bernie is certainly authentic...and persistent.
He was elected mayor of Vermont's largest city four consecutive times...the first time by only 10 votes! One of his forever accomplishments during that era was helping to save the lovely waterfront as a park for All, when some wanted it for condos. In Congress, altho' not a veteran himself, he is one of the strongest supporters of our veterans, earning Man of the Year awards from the VFW and the America Legion years apart. Just one result is "New Hampshire Veterans for Bernie," which also has an outstanding You Tube. ETC.
Is there any way you could circulate your essay to a broader audience? It is EXACTLY the info more people, everywhere need to know. You have my permission send along my note, too, if you think it could be useful.
I am too "green" to be able to retrieve your comments or mine to send them on to others by email, which I would very much like to do. Is there any way you could send a copy to me by email somehow?? tolono@hotmail.com Thanks, lots, for your consideration. #NotMe.Us

10/26/2020 Latest Poll,,,NYTimes: Bernie, 25%; Buttigieg, 18%; Biden, 17%; Warren, 15%. But, Warren (somehow) just got the Des Moines Register endorsement. (?) Still.... He/we is/are SO close. I'm an Illinois native, 81 y.o., way away in NC now. Keep wishing, so much, that I could do something to HELP, more than being a regular, very modest donor. I keep reminding m'self that even $2.70 does help...at least to bump up the campaign's outstanding headcount!
Decided I could at least send my heartfelt THANK YOU...to all the volunteers and attendees at all the rallies and town halls who have trudged around in all the cold and snow (I do remember Iowa and Illinois winters!) to support Bernie's "gatherings"...and all the endorsers (like this impressive Stacey Walker--I just wish "they" had mentioned above that he's "co-chair"!)...Iowans and the others from everywhere, who came to add their support, and help him gain one more TV, radio and newspaper mention, telling an even bigger audience WHY Bernie stands ahead of All as the best/only candidate to help America get out of the embarrassing, hurtful mess, DJT has created for our nation. I know Trump's not alone with that responsibility, but he's the top of the chain and has the post who could have done so much GOOD...like Bernie will. Special thanks to Bernie's Iowa staff--we so hope to see great results from your great work. Please make the one more door knock, the one more phone call...the very best you can do...for the very best candidate!! #NotMe.Us
