He is what I've always "thought" that Democrats were supposed to be about.

But, especially this year, I've been schooled on the likes of the DNC/DWS, the Entrenched Establishment, Third Way and the Clinton Family.

I don't like anything I've learned.

America needs Bernie and a Political Revolution, desperately.
