(12,769 posts)He has been fighting the righteous fight since long ago.
I don't even know how he does it. There is no way I could listen to these pompous asshole and call them 'my friend' for more than a few minutes.
Also, want to say how relieved I am that David Drier is long gone. That asshole use to be my friggen representative. What a bore. I can't believe anyone ever supported him.

(24,411 posts)...but he hasn't. He's one of the last good guys standing in DC. It would have been easy to give up hope.
I think he's running for President, because he knows that the vast majority of our politicians are bought-and-paid for--and that there is no longer any hope for them.
I think Sanders has decided that it's a lost cause to try and change corrupt people who want to continue to be corrupt---and instead he's putting his faith, efforts and hope in the American people.
It's rather embarrassing really, that our elected representatives have betrayed us so egregiously--and that the system is so rotten from the inside out--that the only way to reclaim our democracy is for someone to go outside the system and bring in reinforcements.
