What did you learn?

When referendum does not favor you because of fake news and natural elements, you get down on practical tasks.


I watched this video on March 30, 2020, in the middle of COVID-19, during US presidential election with LDP candidates Joe Biden having 1,217 delegates and Bernie Sanders having 914 delegates. The pandemic has hushed the talk about the race, in which Bernie had faced obstacles like psyops and voter suppression. Since the emergency became clear, Bernie has been working hard for the most vulnerable in this crisis, although I believe he is doing it not for reputation but purely for people. I hope, just as the former president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos succeeded in peace negotiations after he had lost in the referendum and focused on practical affairs, Bernie's devotion to the public, which has fruitfully lasted for 40 years since he became the Mayer of Burlington, Vermont, will be rightly recognized, for Bernie is the one who has the will for fundamental reform that will realize all of the 17 SDGs, in a well-balanced way, in the US politics.
