If people don't try the difficult things, nothing great will get done.
Because of Bernie's run, people are more aware than ever of: how the system is rigged, how rich corporations and individuals are buying elections, are aware of the need for a higher minimum wage and the huge inequality of wealth in this country, etc. And we are going to make big improvements on how we treat Climate Change, etc.
Bernie is inspirational, focused on the important things that have to be done, is not influenced by a luxurious life-style, is totally focused on the people of this country and of the world, etc. He has no ego at all in the game, as far as I can see.
He is a wonderful spokesperson for these critical issues.
Go, Bernie! But if he loses the primaries, then I sure as hell will vote for the winner of the Democratic primaries. This is too important an election to stay home and not vote!
