Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI have the plot for a great historical novel
based on the story of a man in his 70's, fed up with politics declining into the sport of billionaires, who decides to run for President, if only to slow down the juggernaut of history that is destroying the nation he loves and torturing the people who live there.
He is surprised by the enthusiasm with which his campaign is greeted. He is stunned by the building momentum. He comes to the point where he must either fish or cut bait, and he decides he's in it for real, all the way.
And that's just the prologue....

someone that would excite the Occupy kids and someone that the older people could get behind. Someone like RFK did for my generation. I am sure that no one in their right mind would have ever thought that a 70+ year old could excite the youth. This is something that seems to fit in "Alice's Restaurant Massacre" you just find yourself saying "I mean, I mean" in Arlo's voice because it totally defies logic.

Perfect timing to bring up that song (at least in my mind)!
