@lineedemouy1047 Loved your comment. Decided to mention that one of his books, Our Revolution, climbed to #3 on The New York Times Best-Seller List and was also published in China, England, France, Germany, South Korea nd Serbia. He's also been recognized with 2 honorary degrees. But, he truly is, still, at his core, the dedicated activist I first heard of when he was a poli sci undergrad organizer at the U. of Chicago fighting for school desegregation, etc.

@River Rower Certainly Agree that Bernie is ethical to his core. Can't Agree with your thinking that America isn't keen on voting for him. I like to remember his successes in 2016 when--as a relatively unknown--he started at maybe 3% but went on to win 23 states and more than 3,000,000 voters in the primaries.
I do wish there were no shenanigans by the DNC and its chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to remember. But, there are. And, we best be vigilant at every level to protect our election process this time around. At its most basic that means assuring that we're properly registered to vote, that know where to vote and that WE VOTE, no matter what. I changed to early voting in recent years and love the reduction in stress.
A landslide for Bernie's nomination would be wonderful, an exhilarating way forward to the General. But, it would be very, very hard with so many candidates. It bears remembering that Bernie won an early race years ago by only 10 votes, and I suspect it was as big a victory as a later 80+% win in Vermont. Less chance of controversy the bigger the win. We know it, it goes without saying, etc. As these months pass faster and faster, the more we can educate and motivate others, the better. I hope there will be the most ever Debate Watch parties in Oct. The more we learn about and share Bernie's grit and beliefs and #NotMe.Us philosophy the more we help his run. He has a laser focus about the best way to bury the Trump years and head us toward that truly more perfect union. He's sure working hard and working smart toward that goal. Supporters are, too. And to get to his One Millionth Donor the quickest ever was a REAL milestone. But it's a hard road ahead, no mistake about it. Many Ups & downs. Courage!
