21. He is my hero

and a Bernie presidency would have been amazing.

Teddy Roosevelt required Republican olligarchs givinghim the vice presidency to get him out of the NY governorship. They counted on McKinley staying alive. This is how truly transformative people come to power.

That miracle didn't happen for Bernie, but it's happening for Kamala. In other circumstances the DNC would have quashed such a progressive ticket. They won't go against a Black woman or a VP, or our last chance to have a winning candidate. If there had been a real race who knows who would have prevailed.

Bernie unlike most politicians cares more about the result than his own career or power. What makes him happy is progress, and people getting what they need. This is why we love him. This is what keeps him going, older than Trump or Biden but still as cogent as ever.
