Win or Lose, Bernie has changed the national conversation since his run for 2016. There would be no AOC or New Progressive Movement without our elder statesman Bernie. He has taken issues that naysayers scoffed at and made them mainstream. Medicare For All, Free Tuition, $15 Minimum Wage, on and on, all Progressive Positions made mainstream by Bernie. More power to Bernie Sanders!
