Literally the only American politician with any integrity who stands by his beliefs and ofc he never wins an election. This is why we can't have nice things, because apparently feeding homeless people is communism but subsidising dying fossil fuel industries is patriotism.

I wouldn't knock the electability anyone who can win senator or governor, particularly for as long as Bennie has held on.
