13370223, Sanders (and Warren incidentally) have been very critical

of both Republican and Democratic economic policy in the wake of the big bank bailouts where we've seen a massive redistribution of wealth concentrated to the top tenth of one percent. They both correctly note this as corporate socialism. This - along with the long-standing bi-partisan consensus for war - drew Sanders out of Vermont to bring his message to the national stage. Sanders has been one of the only voices in the Senate to consistently speak out against wasteful, disastrous u.s. foreign policy.

In 2016, Sanders led a movement to draft Warren for President - because he knew she'd address his main gripe: the billionaire class dominating our economic and political life. Warren did not opt to run in 2016 - and being that Clinton was running in an uncontested primary, Sanders knew the only way to bring that message to the national forefront would be for him to actually step in and vie for an unlikely bid to become President.

Fast forward to today - and love him or hate him - you can't deny that Sanders has galvanized an entire generation to thrust itself into the political process.
