At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump’s second presidency. In tearing into Trump’s seizure of power and warning about the consequences of firing tens of thousands of government workers, Sanders is bucking the wishes of those who want Democrats to focus on the price of eggs or “roll over and play dead.”

    All citizens should be guaranteed equal protections and to feel represented.

    No taxation without representation, or something, idk.

      Hah, for many in DC, and I’m sure in most US territories, that alone would go a long way.

      Taxes should also drift more to the “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” than it has been for a long while.
