Bernie Sanders, more than any other politician I& #39;ve been exposed to in my adult life, has done more to help me envision—and work toward—a future that I& #39;d be proud to hand off to my children. I know a fair number of you feel similarly.
If your candidate has dropped out of the race, it& #39;s natural to feel deflated—especially if you& #39;re having to sift through tweets of people gloating over the failure of someone who inspires hope in you. Maybe you feel like sitting November out. If that& #39;s you, I hope I can help:

If you& #39;re feeling disappointed about Biden being the Democratic nominee, I& #39;d encourage you to review his policy positions. It& #39;s entirely possible that you disagree with him less than you think you do.
