(48,181 posts)3. It is truly amazing that an avowed socialist has run a serious campaign for the nomination
for president for one of our major parties. It is astounding that he has been able to raise so much money from so many people. His message has re-invigorated the left wing of the Democratic Party, and win or lose, that is going to result in profound change.
Thanks for the op Sid!

Of course, he has also worked his butt off.
