IF They'll vote.

Last time around my youngest daughter and her circle of friends and acquaintances were all worked up over the possibility of a Rmoney White house, and the very likely worsening of conditions like a woman's health choices, College tuition and the resulting years of debt, etc.

Then on election day, they couldn't be bothered to take 15 minutes from their days, and actually vote.

In the years since, nothing has happened with this group to give me cause for hope that this time will be any different.

Sad.

I merely related what my experience was with a group of maybe 25-30 young people.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sanders truly understood the challenges he would face. Without question whether he wins or loses is not about Bernie, it's about us. Do we have what it takes to fight for a better world?
This old fart isn't fighting so much for Bernie as he is for a better life for everyone!
