Bernie is running again. I plan to
support him. I'm tired of being told either not to vote at all or vote for some
meaningless corporate Democrat because Democrats and liberals that I know think
that is the only way to win. I now live without the health care I need,
thanks to both parties selling working people like me out. I'm tired of being
told that we have to support conservative Democrats because they are the only
ones who can beat Republicans. I'm voting for someone who might do this country
some good. So screw it! I will not support any Democrat who does not support
health care for all, and not some convoluted garbage or some plan to make sure
insurance companies get their cut. If the next Democrat running for Prez’ isn't
going to do me any good—screw them—I'd rather have Trump. –SJ Otto
After months of deliberation, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
announced Tuesday that he is running for president again in 2020. It will be
Sanders' second consecutive bid for the Democratic nomination after losing to
Hillary Clinton in 2016.
"I am asking you to join me today as part of an
unprecedented and historic grassroots campaign that will begin with at least a
million people from across the country," he wrote in an email to
supporters following an interview on Vermont Public Radio.
Sanders enters the 2020 race as one of the frontrunners – a
remarkable turn for the democratic socialist who, three years ago, was viewed
as a protest candidate from the political fringe. Today, Sanders is one of the
most popular politicians among Democratic voters and his policy agenda – a
suite of progressive proposals to expand health care, broaden the social safety
net and make higher education free –has been embraced by many of the Democratic
party's leading figures.
