on Thom Hartmann in 2014 or so before he was a candidate. I don’t know what really happened being the scenes, but I would have liked to see him as President then. I also understand that the Bernie of 2019 wasn’t the same.

I also agree that there are other choices – it’s why I voted for Mark Charles, introduced to me here JPR.

Note Article 10 above.

However, the large section on Crimea as an autonomous region would have to be removed.
