Q. You are an 84-year-old politician with a legion of young followers, among whom disillusionment often prevails. From the weight of your experience, are these the worst times you have ever lived through?
A. These are the most dangerous times that the United States has faced in modern history. That is unquestionable, but having gone all over the country, having spoken over the years to thousands of people, I think the average American is decent, believes in democracy, believes in justice. I also believe we will not only defeat Trumpism, were going to create a much more just and fair United States of America for working people.

but so is the growing opposition to it. Thank you, Bernie.

(293 posts)2. Y'Know The Media Paints Sanders As This Outrageous Leftist!
And the way they have people indoctrinated they think he's a Bolshevik Communist extremist who will destroy our way of life.
Just casually bringing him up in conversation with regular folks brings out this opinion. It amazes me! Granted people just access their information in short clips & soundbites.
Who says the Media isn't doing their job?.
This is what the Right Wings paying for!
