Sen. Bernie Sanders - "Despair is not an option" - UC Berkeley
Published on Dec 2, 2016
One question asked of Senator Sanders how he was able to bounce back in the wake of Trump’s unexpected win.
“It is appropriate when you lose to take a day off,” Sanders said to laughter. “But in all seriousness, when you deal with bigotry and the incredible hurt that it does to people. And when you deal with climate change and understand if we don’t act aggressively that the planet that we leave those kids will be a much less happy planet, you don’t have the option of living in remorse or sadness.”
