I don’t agree with @BernieSanders on much of anything but he believes what he believes and says so. Not a fraud. And that’s about the best (and sincere) compliment I can give him.

No snark intended. None at all. I have respect for Bernie. I have zero respect for most other politicians. I have much more respect for people who live their life based on their convictions than the sociopathic pretenders of both parties infesting Washington in the 21st century.

Of course, this is why Bernie had a popular base of support. His authenticity was obvious.
