Bernie Sanders became a meme, put the meme of himself on a sweatshirt, sold out, sold tshirts and stickers, raised $1.8 mil for charity, made GETTY IMAGES donate their cut, and another company donate 50 coats. That's the guy the political/media establishment said is out touch.

I was talking to my students about college debt (I owe six figures) and I explained that he was the only candidate who said he’d forgive everyone’s debt. “Then why didn’t he get the nomination?” WHY INDEED

Actually he wasn’t the only one, but I still agree with the point you’re making.

My question for you then, @marwilliamson, what were the major differences between your platform and @SenSanders?

I agreed on almost everything as I remember, but added to that I supported reparations for slavery, a Department of Peace in order to proactively wage peace, and a Department of children and youth in order to majorly front end our resources to the first few years of life.

Tbf @marwilliamson you flipped flopped on Medicare For All. However I give you credit for supporting Reparations. Bernie dropped the ball on that issue.

I wonder what you think of this perspective on reparations. We need to rewrite the tax code first so the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share of the reparations. Otherwise, cost of reparations will fall upon those who benefited least from slavery.
