And a comment from a white, male Millennial on my FB this morning “he is the most popular politician in the country because he has the actual most progressive platform on important issues like healthcare, environmentalism, and income inequality. that is why #millenials like him, not cause of his age or color lol”.
I wish I had better resources at hand on Kamala Harris and other candidates’ platforms

The “lol” is really the cherry on top here. And I am a chronic lol abuser!

I see the commenter conveniently (and accurately) left "gender" off that list.
Rhetorical question, but what exactly has he done (besides complain) between his 2016 campaign and now? One would think that if he was really serious about being president he would've used this time to be more vocal in Congress and/or be more vocal against Trump, right?

Saw this on FB. It makes me so mad. We should be thankful he isn't running as an Independent, even though he leaves the D party after every election.
To those who complain that “Bernie isn’t a Democrat.”
Would you honestly prefer he run as an independent? Knowing what that entails? Because as much as people like to blame Bernie for Trump, he could EASILY give you Trump by not running as a Democrat
But Bernie won’t. He would never even consider an independent run for President. Because he knows full well what that would entail.
Bernie lost a primary in 2016 in which the Party’s power brokers were heavily (and admittedly) stacked against him. He could have complained. He could have campaigned against Hillary Clinton after the Primary.
He instead did campaign rallies for her.
Remember Donna Brazile’s book? Where she describes Bernie’s reaction to finding out about the Podesta emails outlying how stacked against him everyone was? His first response wasn’t “how dare they” or “I’m burning this shit down.”
It was “can Hillary still win?”
You’re welcome to dislike Bernie Sanders. You’re welcome to prefer anyone else for President. But the moment you start accusing him of being only in it for himself, a man who literally ran a Presidential campaign on the exact same message he’s been toiling in complete obscurity with since he was a teenager, that’s where you cross over into just plain nonsense.
If Bernie were truly selfish, he would do what a lot of you all are implying he should do: run as an independent.
He won’t.
Be thankful he isn’t as selfish as some of you like to accuse him of being.
I just don’t think he has a chance. He’s really disliked. Not that comments under news articles mean anything but they are ALL so very negative right now.
