Wow.. I am really emotional about seeing Bernie--seeing the roll call, seeing his brother speak, seeing Vermont present their votes in the roll call, and then seeing him end his illustrious campaign by moving to nominate Hillary.
I wish the kind of passion that he ignited in so many people could be business as usual in politics. I wish more politicians could commit to their career in public service with as much integrity as Bernie has. I wish that the young people ignited by Bernie do exactly as he has exhorted them to do and pick up the torch and run for office and make a difference in this broken world. I wish for him a return to a more private life in VT, and a return to being able to wander Burlington among the people he has served for so long.
Who are you inspired by? Anyone else who has actually walked the walk inspire you to do more, or inspire you to follow your own passion? I'm so grateful for people who stand up and live their lives courageously fighting for what they believe in.
Oh, well. I still have my Bernie for President 2016 t-shirt, and a little bit more hope for the future.
