      Yeah, because he’s been sitting on his hands for over the last half a century. GTFO with this no-effort trolling.

      Is it truly the guy who can take on the trump empire?

      No single person takes on anything. The only reason why it seems that way is because the history books generally point to a particular person as being responsible for some big change in society, but people like that are only able to exist because there’s hundreds of thousands of people who’s names you’ll never know put in the work to make it possible for people like Bernie, or MLK, or whomever to be the face those movements.

      Wow. You could just Google him… You’re clearly ignorant here, which is fine, but now you’re casting judgement? This is kind of why we’re in this mess in America… People jump to conclusions before being informed.

      Bernie is one of the only people in our federal government that I respect at this stage.
