It was in a discussion with young adults that I came to realize what an impact Martin Luther King's words and philosophy still has to this day. And I came to realize why Bernie uses brothers and sisters (because it excludes no one) and does not let them divide us.
I think it's great Killer Mike is getting national exposure because he is such a powerful speaker. And so is Nina Turner.
Bernie might not have a slew of advocates but what he lacks in quantity he really makes up in quality.

Not one same sex couple kissing.
Dismiss.
This ad is deeply homophobic. Clearly.

hope. I love everyone in that video with my whole heart. It must be extraordinary for Bernie to live his life right now and keep things clear in his head. what a profound man.
