Let's not forget the biggest message of the evening:

"Millions of people are gonna have to come together to do this: to take back our government and our country from the billionaires who have stolen it."

This message was the one unlike any of the others, and it's the whole point of 2016.

He also challenged the Soviet people to take back theirs. I think he will be an excellent leader and inspire people worldwide to demand their human rights.

I think that kind of inspirational talk, coming from the heart, can encourage people all around the world to demand their human rights.

It will not end when Bernie is elected president.
We have to remember this, and remain active in the goings on of our democracy.
As Thom Hartmann says, "Democracy is not a spectator sport."

Presidential" or even "won the debate" is either: 1) missing the big picture; or 2) invested in the status quo.
