that he is simply just one of us, just another person, sovereign and equal.

I feel that he fully understands that he is our collective democratic representative, our servant, and accepts the burden of this responsibility with humility, and respect for everyone and everything.

Surf's up, y'all.

And it damn well has to be about us, given he is not accepting PAC donations or corporate donations.

Go, Bernie!
