    I’d love a younger Bernie style guy to run, but he’s one of a kind.

    Many of the younger progressives don’t seem to have the conviction and/or authenticity it seems, though it could also be due to everyone being afraid too to run against an incumbent.

    It’s really depressing to think there’s no good options, and we’re just voting for least awful.

          His message for decades has been one person can’t save the country, so his goal is motivating the next generation to be active in politics.

          Even when running for president he was very open about how his goal wasn’t getting elected, it’s pulling the entire party left and encouraging progressives to not only run for smaller offices, but to become involved in the system and change it from within.
