43. We had our shot

Mar 2025

at Bernie in 2016 and 2020. He recently said his current term is it. In hindsight, we would be nowhere where we are today, if we would have elected him. It was clearly obvious his vision wasn't strong enough for the people, PLUS it did not go over well with the democrats that he ran on the independent platform. He then claimed to be a progressive democrat, but even that didn't convince people.

What we need to do is find a younger progressive democrat, that is actually a democrat, with a commitment to fix this country for EVERYONE. I strongly recommend a slew of Bernie's policies. And we need to select this person soon
