      My Latest. You don't really know who Bernie Sanders was in the 1960s. Why it mattered then and why it matters today. Here I tell some powerful stories that he simply refuses to tell about himself. https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/you-dont-really-know-who-bernie-sanders-was-in-the-1960s-79628016125f …pic.twitter.com/4RYsfgUG2p

      Here I reject the argument that who @BernieSanders was in the 1960s is irrelevant. He was not a bystander, but a key organizer, protestor, & activist. As a student leader he organized against police brutality, school inequality, & segregated housing.https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/you-dont-really-know-who-bernie-sanders-was-in-the-1960s-79628016125f …

      After I introduced Bernie at our event in Los Angles, his family told me they hadn’t even heard most of these stories. He just doesn’t talk about them. Even when political consultants told him it would be good for him politically, he refused.https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/you-dont-really-know-who-bernie-sanders-was-in-the-1960s-79628016125f …

          I believe around the time these photos were taken Hillary was a self-described Goldwater Girl.

          ...and the reason Bernie appears at so many events and works so hard on behalf of the American people is that he doesn't have to spend HOURS every day dialing for dollars.

          So, you want DNC to nominate Bernie? And if they dont will you be telling people to split the vote and vote Bernie anyways?

          If Hilary runs, she has my vote. If Bernie runs , he has my vote. Why is this so hard?

          And where was he from the 1960s to 2016? Oh right, living in white VT, refusing to meet black activists and never, ever showing ANY interest in civil rights. Stop stanning for this old white fraud. Women are the future: black, brown and white women: http://amp.timeinc.net/time/5311978/women-2018-democratic-primaries …

          I read a long thread from someone who could do nothing but attack Sanders because of this post. It's sad when people tear down allies and aupport oppression.
