Has working in the Bernie Sanders campaign been a high point in your life, like it has for me?

I spent last night phonebanking for Bernie. I've canvassed - in Iowa and Missouri - and phonebanked. I've met some of the most wonderful people that it has been my honor and pleasure to meet. We're all still on board, until the convention, and beyond!

1. Brought me back into the process

After about a thousand hours on the ground for Edwards in 2008. I gave up on the process and those involved. It's been a real treat

And helping carry RI made it an added plus. Wish we could do it again. Oh wait, we're still doing it!

2. It was nice to be able to vote for someone who shares my values.

I am not in favor of fracking, privatizing education and prisons, lowering SS benefits, and taking us to war. It was nice while it lasted.

3. I have been an activist for some 45 years

Working for Bernie has certainly been one of the high points, but there have been many.
When you are an activist for all sorts of peace and justice, environmental and other causes of WE THE PEOPLE, you have ups and downs.
Today is one big downer for me.
I thought that Bernie could pull it off, but NOOOOOOO! The corporate media decides to call it BEFORE the necessary number of pledged candidates have been met.
I should have expected this.

On the other hand, other battles won. The most recent one that I can think of is the ban on fracking in NY. It was a hard fought battle, but it was a win.
Another was when we got General Electric to clean up the PCBs in the upper Hudson River. It was a very long and hard battle which took almost 30 years to win.
Far back was the end of the Viet Nam war. Not nearly as long a battle as the GE/Hudson battle, but a very very hard one, which we won.

I never was a cheerleader for Obama, I wanted Kucinich, but the MSM made him look foolish when, in the first debate they asked him if he believes in UFOs.

Right now, our main focus should be on the environment, as it is the most important one. We face certain extinction if nothing is done about climate change. Corporatists running on BOTH Parties will not help the matter, as we need a Manhattan Project style program to keep our planet habitable for the Human Race in the next generation.

Well, the corporations have won this round. Hopefully we can still win the war!

4. It's the first time in my life (began voting in the 1960s) that there was a

Presidential candidate that I could wholeheartedly endorse (maybe with a quibble about a couple of things like gun control). And it is the first time I have had hope in the political system since the 2000 election was stolen.

Those hopes are not entirely dashed now: there is Brand New Congress, and, of course, the presidential race is not over till it's over. There are FBI/DOJ fraud investigations in Arizona and Puerto Rico, and fraud-related law-suits in at least a half a dozen states, including one that is a multi-state suit about machine voting manipulation. One or more of these might change delegate counts, depending on how the DNC rules committee deals with them. (This is not an accusation directed at the Hillary's campaign, btw). But I don't hold out much hope for a candidate who is instrinsically progressive.

All in all, I will probably retreat back to local activism, where corruption is not as pervasive as at the national level, and where I know I can still make a difference.

5. Thank you for all your hard work. Bernie inspires me to be a better person.

[VulgarPoet]

6. Yeah.

It gave me something to do after work that actually felt like it meant something. If these knee-padded supplicants expect me to give the same kind of energy to Clinton, they've got so many new things coming it might start a new goddamned Renaissance.

7. Yes absolutely, going to a town hall meeting tonight.
