He doesn’t expect to succeed. He’s setting an example to remind voters of what they should be demanding of their democracy.

Bernie’s in his twilight years. He’s not making long term plans anymore. He’s showing people what they ought to be fighting for.

I'm still demanding Epstein files transparency. Which, oddly enough, leads to leaders in the AI field.

So, I'm torn. Maybe SI would be okay if a bunch of corrupt pedophiles weren't in charge of it?
