Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Strive - Bernie Sanders
Jan 13, 2020
President Kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. So when candidates say we can’t guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that America is best when we strive to do big things, even when it’s hard.

Does he remember writing this years ago?
"President Kennedy was elected while I was at the University of Chicago, that was 1960. I remember being physically nauseated by his speech and that doesn't happen very often. He debated Nixon on Cuba. And their hatred for the Cuban Revolution, both of them, was so strong. Kennedy was young and appealing and ostensibly liberal, but I think at that point, seeing through Kennedy, and what liberalism was, was probably a significant step for me to understand that conventional politics or liberalism was not what was relevant.
