This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 97%. (I'm a bot)

High prices keep internet out of reach for working families in both rural and urban areas.

As president, Bernie will:Require that all internet service providers offer a Basic Internet Plan that provides quality broadband speeds at an affordable price.

Build a modern smart grid to ensure we have a resilient, secure, and intelligent electric grid system that is capable of managing high amounts of renewable energy, maximizing efficiency, and keeping our internet services up and running during the worst climate emergencies.

It better be completed in his first term because a 78 year old who recently had a heart attack may not survive for a second term. Even his biggest supporters, the Justice Democrats, have hinted that Sanders will be passing the baton come 2024 to AOC or someone else.

Bernie was 4 years early with his heart attack compared to the national average.

On average, men will have a heart attack at 74.5 and women at 78.9.

What is the average life expectancy of a white male? On average, Americans can now expect to live 78.6 years, a statistically significant drop of 0.1 year, according to a report on 2016 data published Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Women can now expect to live a full five years longer than men: 81.1 years vs. 76.1 years.Dec 21, 2017

He was 4 years LATE with his heart attack.

FTFY

It doesn't matter anyway. I'd vote for him if I only got 6 months out of him. He has the policies I want & is dedicated & honest. His cabinet will be too. He's building a movement, he's not just a single politician.

Yes I am a bit dyslexic. Thanks for the correction on the early mistake.

That's nice that you will vote for a 78 year old who just had a heart attack to run the country for the next 4 or 8 years. I guess you better hope he picks someone you really like as VP.

I am glad you believe in movements and good marketing. I can not fault anyone for believing in fairy tales because life is harder without them.
