Bernie is serious.

"I am going to try my best to try to create a country in which children are not living in poverty, in which kids can go to college, in which seniors have health care. Will I succeed? I can't guarantee you that. But I can tell you that from a human point of view, it is better to show up than to give up."

Bernie Sanders
