In 1971 @BernieSanders visited a local prison to speak about deep racial inequities in the criminal justice system - and said in his speech at the prison said...
"The government doesn't give a shit about Black people."
Bernie's BEEN about that life.https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/politics/kfile-bernie-sanders-vermont-1970s/index.html …

No one is perfect, but the more we uncover about Bernie, the better he looks!

Those who hate him do so because he's decent and sincere. Decency and sincerity are inconsistent with American politics.

He didn't even vote until he was 40 years old.

He did more than vote.

It also shows that America still suffers from largely the same structural issues it did in the 1970s.

Fascinating read! This fills in so many of the stories about his activism and political runs in the 1970s that have been almost mischaracterized as an empty decade for Bernie. Far from it! So much consistency with so many similar speeches and drives to help the American people

You know there's someone out there right now writing the script for "Feel the Bern" or "Bernie Sanders: a documentary".
