      I think I will always have lots of empathy and admiration for him. He was and is someone who’s actions show character and who’s character is genuinely rooted in trying to help the populace.

      If there was a way to traverse dimensions to one where things went right for his election, I’d go there. The one we’re in just…sucks.

        Bernie’s emails are worth subscribing to imo. He’s sending out stuff railing on citizens united with the tone of “yeah yeah, crazy ol Bernie on it again. Well guess what, it’s still a big fuckin problem”

      Always will. He is too old to run but I believe we will not see another politician like him in our lives. Regardless of you views on his policies you cannot deny that he cares about others and is doing what he believes is best for all humans.

        There are plenty of good and charismatic people. Political systems are wired to filter them out.

        I think Larry Lessig is not too old. His political focus is a bit less gigantic and heroic than Bernie’s, but in a bit longer term may cause enormous positive changes if applied.

        I hope not. We need more like him.
