(28,340 posts)I'm sorry I can rec it only once, I truly am.
I've been too guilty of jumping in every fight and spreading my share of heat without light, but over the past couple weeks I've worked hard to change that, to try to be my better self more often. I've endeavored to extend my hand a bit more frequently, and even if I get my fingers whacked now and then, I still think it's worth it.
I have always thought that Senator Sander's presence and voice in this campaign was not only a good thing, but probably even necessary to our success as a party in November. Mr. Maru and I, even when we were way beyond exasperated with the guy, always said that we would vote for Sen. Sanders if he won. Your assessment of his impact is concise and true. Essentially, the man found a way to herd cats. Our party is better with him in it, weighing us to port and pulling our ship of state leftward, and I hope he will stay, and continue.
