Who else is like Bernie?

Can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

Wouldn't it be great to identify Bernie #2? And #3?

This movement needs many leaders and they need to know we are with them and will support their efforts.

So, any names?

Nina Turner. If you look up "Bernie Sanders type Democrats" on google, you will come across some.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcy_Kaptur

Serving her seventeenth term in the House of Representatives, Kaptur is the dean of Ohio's congressional delegation, the longest serving woman in the House and the second longest-serving ever after Edith Rogers; in the Congress, she is tied for the second longest-serving woman with Senator Barbara Boxer, behind Senator Barbara Mikulski.[1] She ranks 8th out of 435 members in seniority and serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee.[2]

She has endorsed Bernie Sanders for Democratic nomination in 2016,[3] telling The Boston Globe in an interview, "First time in my career that I’ve heard a candidate give voice to what we’ve been struggling for and against in this Congress for the last quarter century. … I must say that when Secretary Clinton was secretary of state, I don’t recall her ever attempting to balance [free-trade agreements] or change them in any way.”[4]


She was my hero during the foreclosure crisis.

She speaks truth to power. It's just who she is.

The Revolution is us and Bernie tells us that in almost every speech. This revolution has amassed millions and must diversify and expand.

If we put all our eggs in one basket, how does that help us spread out to every niche and cranny in America. We have the growing numbers that will guarantee change if we use them, so says Bernie frequently

He needs us but more importantly we need us to revive democracy.

However, Jill Stein's (Green Party) positions align favorably with Bernie's.

This is not proposing an alternate candidate by any means - just pointing out fellow travelers. If this is coming close to a TOS violation I'll delete.
