He is the future, but we were not ready for him. But he continues to mentor those who will lead in the future, like AOC, and that makes me smile.

The mainstream media portrayed him as an extreme leftist and alot of us fell for that.

It's so depressing to think what might have been with a Sanders presidency for two terms, followed up by his successor.

Instead of the criminal sicko grifter we ended up with.

The USA is seen as a failing economy, slowly withering on the vine.

The money, for the past 10 years, is now with what are called emerging countries. This might explain why there is an accelerated push to extract as many trillions out of our economy so the billionaires can invest it elsewhere, and that elsewhere isn't America.

Who knows, Trump & the GOP's push to destroy American on the global stage might be one facet to help facilitate this economic repositioning. Check where the billionaires are positioning their investments and projects.
