You know what? I kinda like Bernie's platform poeple.

Cornel West is kinda pushing it but Bill McKibben is great. James Zogby, pro-Palestinian activist, don't know too much about him but I agree that US policy towards Isreal and Palestine has been a bit one-sided towards Israel. Keith Ellison I like. I don't know too much about Deborah Parker.

He's a very persuasive guy and climate change is such a critical issue.

I'm sure that the platform people designated by Senator Sanders will be fine.

Pretty soon everyone is going to be happy again.

the Palestinians deserve a state, what's the problem? Don't they?

Obviously it should also say that there's zero tolerance for terrorism and denial of Israel to exist.
