Levis Sanders: Bernie Sanders' son carries his father's passion to fight for the disenfranchised into bid for congress

And SLAMS Hillary and the Democratic party in the process

“The Democratic Party has done a very poor job of bolstering people’s confidence and self-esteem, and that has significant consequences when it comes to reaching out to low-income and working-class people,” he says.

“When Hillary Clinton used the word ‘deplorable’ that had a significant effect on so many people. They basically said ‘We understand that Donald Trump is not a nice guy, but he is one of us’. He said ‘Yes, I know I’m a billionaire, but I’m like your weird uncle. I’m not politically correct and I’m not judging you and that’s the key’.”

1. Levi at work

[Wwcd]

3. "there's just gotta be an easier way for a guy to earn a living!"

let's see....

[Wwcd]

2. Make a father proud, son! I'd like to watch a debate on levi's dad's gun record,

his voting record, between levi & David Hogg.

Judging by the lack of enormous outporing & support in the last election held, Vt isn't impressed either.

ThIs just sreams "DYNASTY"!!!!!

[R B Garr]

17. ++There's big money in attacking Democrats....

All aboard the gravy train!

[Cha]

22. yeah, all they have are

baseless insults. They care about nothing but themselves.

[NCTraveler]

4. He is just trying to get coverage from his favorite source.

He made more sense when railing against his high school reunion.

Dude just yells at walls.

[LisaM]

6. Every time I think of that I burst out laughing.

That whole tirade made me laugh so hard I almost felt sick.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Someday people are gonna realize what is really happening and has been

happening for 20 years or more now.

Involves a lot of players and moving parts.

Very intricately designed for one outcome.

[comradebillyboy]

5. Is he primarying the incumbant Democratic congressman Peter Welch?

Edit: Sorry, he's running for congress in a New Hampshire district where he doesn't reside or work. And he is of course attacking Hillary and the Democratic Party. Since Jr is so sympathetic to Trump voters maybe he ought to help the Republicans instead.

[sdfernando]

7. How is it possible

to run in a district where you don't live or work? Sounds like a carpetbagger.

[Gothmog]

11. This is legal but not advisable

My son knew and attended a summer school seminar with the guy who ran for the GA 8 and lost. Not living in the district hurt. The son of a good friend tried the same thing for Tx CD 7 and came in 4th. This is usually not a good move but can be done.

[Hortensis]

15. Isn't he? He's using his father's rhetoric hoping to

pull the intractable dissidents who've remained loyal to his father, and we know how that came out.

It must be uncomfortable being the barely middle class son of a U.S. senator, but, curious, I read everything I could find on him long ago, and he's emphatically just not U.S. senate material. He seems well suited to his work as a benefits analyst/clerk/counselor, in which role he performs (I assume) helpful, honorable services to people who need help and can afford to hire professional assistance.

I wouldn't have commented on this if he wasn't badmouthing Hillary to appeal to that sort. That does not deserve respect.

[comradebillyboy]

21. His career isn't what I would call distinguished.

[SFnomad]

9. Levi shouldn't quit his day job, whatever that might be n/t

[mcar]

10. Go away Levi

[Gothmog]

12. Appealing to trump voters is not a productive use of resources

[Blue_Tires]

13. Meh, he's a nonentity who doesn't matter...

a goddamn fringe nutbar with a fat archive of really controversial and inflammatory tweets that will sink him in any legit race... And the only reason he gets *ANY* pub is because of his last name and because he's always happy to kick the political corpse of Hillary Clinton, which the media inexplicably still refuses to let go...

One of these days Sanders the elder or Sanders the younger will be interviewed and all the choice quotes will be of them railing against the motherfucking GOP (Remember them? The bad guys?) and it will be glorious...

[kstewart33]

14. Like father, like son.

I did not know that the Democratic Party is responsible for people's self esteem.

[R B Garr]

19. Exactly, this is what it's come to. Everyone gets a cookie so

they don't feel bad.

At least this shows they are out of material...

Way past time to move on.

[Cha]

16. He's not "correct" anything.

poor deplorables

[TheSmarterDog]

18. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[lapucelle]

20. Levi's Facebook posts on his battle with the organizers

of his high school reunion are epic.
