If you ever wondered what an eye roll sounds like, you need to hear Mark Ruffalo's narration on this audio.

There are not enough stars to rate this book - as we approach impending doom in the US on Jan 20th, I still wonder why this man is not my president.

This was such a fascinating and shocking read. This book is not only relevant to Americans but to everyone who wants to have more insight into politics in a post-factum world where entertainment and mere presence is more important than the issues, content, and facts at hand. I highly recommend this book!

ok- i didn't actually finish this. once i got into his policies i realized i already knew them by heart since i had been following him for over a decade. i loved the tiny bit of bread crumbs he gave us about his personal life at the beginning though. i look forward to passing this on to someone who isn't as familiar with the powerful platform he has. #notmeus

The first third of this book is essentially a play-by-play of Bernie's recent presidential campaign, which is less interesting for someone who followed it closely to begin with, but effectively establishes the popular support behind the senator's ideas. The remainder of the book expounds more on those proposals, many of which hinge on Bernie's signature issues of getting money out of politics and reforming the American economy to help the lower classes. As he did on the campaign trail, Sanders puts forward a profound moral and economic argument for increasing the scope of our country's social safety net.
The elephant in the room is Donald Trump, who is only glancingly discussed in terms of his presidential campaign and not as a dominant figure in national politics. This book, which was published just after the general election in 2016, was clearly written in anticipation of another Clinton White House, and several of its arguments fall a little flat given how the election actually turned out. Nevertheless, Trump's ascendancy does echo the Sanders primary campaign in showing the potential for grassroots activism to buck the political status quo. In that sense, Our Revolution offers a valuable road map for liberals seeking to emulate the success of the Trump campaign in service of a more progressive and humane agenda.

Reminiscing on when I enjoyed American politics and wasn’t actively miserable every time I look on twitter

2 stars for the book, which is pretty basic as both a memoir and a guide-book.
5 stars for the human, who is extraordinary.

Sometimes you just want to wrap yourself in the warm bubble of progressivism.
