Please vote...everyone...especially young people. It is YOUR future. I’m on my way out. You have your whole life ahead of you.

If you are satisfied with things the way they are...politicians who they are representing YOUR interests...and a pResident like this...then to hell with voting. Otherwise, while it still matters, get out and vote!

social justice issues.

Someone younger if possible.

Bernie is showing everyone how to do it. He is utterly sincere in everything he says, and he doesn't take a lot of money from Wall Street and corporate heads. Some maybe, but not much. He is therefore deemed credible by the crowd. Deservedly so in my opinion.

He believes and is saying what all Democrats should stand for.

Sorry if I am offending anyone, but if we Democrats are to win in 2018 and 2020, we have to be brutally honest with each other.

I know a lot of DUers will disagree with me. Please express yourselves.

are "in it" because they're heady with power and the deluded notion they're doing "the people's" work. It's surely just coincidental that their personal fortunes have left that of the folks they purport to speak for - in the dust. And then there's this guy - STILL hawking the same, selfless - C'mon America! Stand up for yourselves! - message, when most folks his years would be spending their days frolicking with their grandkids.

He should be banging out a book: Determining your own destiny - for DUMMIES!

Are you suggesting that FDR shouldn't have fought for the New Deal because he was wealthy?
