because most Bernie/Elizabeth supporters are interchangeable, the times are definitely changing (as the ad above says). In fact, the times have already changed, and Bernie and Elizabeth are leading the parade.

It's a beautiful video to watch that makes you feel good and united with the rest of the world. But I don't see a president in this, I don't see somebody who will deliver on the promises he made. Bernie's record as a senator of 30 years is very meager indeed. I see Bernie as a very important and influential public intellectual who has the ability to move the political discourse forward, but I don't see him as an effective president who would be able to realize any of the ambitious plans he has.

And it is a future that none of the other candidates envisage.
