Bernie Sanders seemed to have come out of nowhere when he entered the 2016 Presidential Race. He already had his following in Vermont as a Senator, but he would soon have the support of a large chunk of the nation too, especially with millennials (myself included).
Though he didn’t win the Democratic nomination (which was a yuge mistake, in my opinion), Bernie has continued to fight for what he believes in and has had the continued support from those who voted for him and even those who didn’t.
Bernie Sanders is the man America needs. Even though he is not the president, he will always be #1 to me. Here’s why:
-
He has no hidden agenda; everything he wants to do is for the good of the people and the planet.
-
Even after losing the nomination, he turned his support to Hillary right away (even before, actually; he endorsed her prior to the DNC).
-
He has been a political activist since his younger years. He was even arrested for peacefully protesting segregation.
At the very least, he’s an incredible guy with a huge heart.
Here’s to hoping we have another Bernie Sanders run in 2020!
