Thanks for the breath of sanity. Phew.

It's so damn easy to criticize Bernie from your living room.
Let's see the complainers get out there and make a real difference.
It's so easy to sit up on your high horse and tell Bernie how he should
run his political life.

My question to you is: What the hell are YOU doing about the political situation?

Bernie is a 75-year-old man who is dedicating his LIFE to make
this a better world in which to live. He may err, but at least
he is giving it his best. He could be sitting on his front porch
spending time with his grand kids and enjoying the good life.
But instead, he is out there fighting so his grandchildren can have
a decent future. And God bless him for it. Can you say the same?

Just sayin...
