Bernie Sanders and FDR, by Davin Michael Stedman

Bernie Sanders is so old he can remember hearing FDR’s Fireside Chats. He’s so old Hitler was hunting his down people when he could talk…and walk.

He’s so old he’s outlived the idealism of the Boomer generation, and he’s too old to be a Boomer.

And he is still fighting. He is not having senior moments. He’s ready to wrestle Mayor Pete.

Whether you like him or not, there is a spirit in that one. He’s so old he saw Benny Goodman and Rage Against the Machine sell out.

That man keeps fighting and people ten twenty years younger are staring into space in retirement homes.

I dream of being that sharp and that good that long. Some of it is genetics. Luck of the draw. But there is something inspiring to young people when those old folks don’t give up…

…on young folks.

Vote for who you vote for. But I’m pledging my vote to Mr. Sanders and hoping Mrs. Warren accepts the VP.

Bernie is like the guy nobody picked for their team, but he kept practicing.

At 80 years, he might get the gig. Maybe not, but if this election cycle were a basketball game he in the late 3rd quarter leading all scorers.

C’mon old man. You’ve been setting viscous picks your whole life. Just keep shooting.

Bernie can do this thing. We can win this thing. They are going throw everything at you.

Watch out for the anti-semitism and that Protocals of Zion HOAX. Regardless of your race or gender, it’s time to stand up and be counted because the truth is self evident.

That’s the look of a kid that is going to be President, if we don’t let em’ break us. When you feel broken look at this picture and remember this man stood with Dr. King and if you just search Martin’s words, this boy never stopped fighting for The Dream.

I believe Martin would be proud of this kid then and now. I’ve listen to every speech I could find. I hear Dr. KING singing.

Martin’s strategy was to act like the world is watching. Because the whole world is watching. Act like it. Vote like it.

See you in November.

We got Nevada.

There is going to be a lot of talk about FDR and Bernie’s chance at another New Deal. But hopefully this will also help shed light on his partner in saving America, Eleanor Roosevelt.

She is a giant that should not be forgotten or underestimated. She maneuvered and helped push through important policies that we take for granted today.

She is still a legend in Puerto Rico. My family came to America because she returned from the island and demanded something be done.

The wealthy CAN do great things for the working class, and Franklen and Eleanor are the reason we may yet again save and unite this country. Because it ALREADY worked and their greatest ideas and policies are so bake into our daily life Rednecks scream about getting the Government out of their Medicaid.

This has already been broughten’ and over the decades Oligarchs have sent fine B actors like Reagan and Mayor Pete to strip this all slowly away.

But if Bernie is a Commy, what is FDR? And what of Eleanor? The New Deal knocked Hitler the f☆ck out.

A Bernie Warren Combo on a ticket will remind us of what a woman and man can do as a team to Stomp the Yard.

There’s your fireside chat from a ten minute break.
