      Because he recognizes the dangerous situation we’re in and articulates a positive vision for the future, and the changes needed to get there.

                He is the only one in Congress taking these positions, therefore he is being supported.

                If you’re expecting a single superhero to swoop in and fix all our problems, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Change of achieved in groups. Take responsibility for your own actions. What have you done to take on MAGA and the oligarchs?

      Because he is someone that has kept his values since day zero, and while his peers kept getting richer through kickbacks lobbying, he did what he preached.

          Some people still have faith in democracy, you have no right criticizing them while not getting to action yourself (at least thats what Im assuming based on that I havent heard about you in nationwide news)

          You’re so confident and cite no references nor even allude to your opinions having anything of substance under them.

          Troll.

            I’m actually in awe of how textbook FUD this is.

            Usually people are able to cloak it to make it more difficult to recognize it for what it is. No attempt made here.

            Just being like “HMM I DON’T THINK SO”

          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.

          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 who put in the work to make it possible for people like Bernie, or MLK, or whomever to be the face those movements.

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