“Sometimes people say, you know, you’re 78, all that stuff, and you’ve been doing this for a long time — But should I be quitting now? When you look out and you talk to these beautiful, beautiful young people who want to move this country forward in such a decent, humane way, it really does inspire me. And to the degree that I have gotten those folks involved in the political process, yeah, I am very proud of that. I don’t know that I’ve ever done anything in my life more important than that.”

    Liberals, cast aside your cult of personality. Kill your heroes and become your own. Bernie is dead to us. We need to save ourselves.

      It's absurd to claim Bernie ever had a cult of personality -- look at what happened when he dropped out. The ideologically-committed leftists shit all over him and the left-ish Democrats who just wanted healthcare sighed and settled for Biden. Don't repeat what was always just a reactionary talking point.

        If there's no cult of personality then there's nothing to mourn here.

      The guy's been a ton of young people's gateway to the left. Let them feel their pain.

          Oh get off it, anyone who’s here already knows this was never going to end with the Bernie campaign. You can be upset about one thing and know that there’s still work to be done.
