The swift boating of Bernie Sanders?

It's unfortunate the gay Mexican chair-bound designer wasn't blind.

This isn't fully formed either. It's also a little smart ass but here goes:
I'm going to apply the spirit of your approach with other things in my life. Back in the 90's I participated in a breast cancer run- hell, I'm pretty sure I did it three or four times come to think of it. I don't think you can raise enough money to fight breast cancer so I ran- a lot.
Breast Cancer- Check
I keep getting calls to donate to veteran's groups. Next time they call I'm going to remind them that the routine mistreatment of veterans by the federal government is appalling and the suicide rate amongst those who have served this country is reprehensible and something has to be done. I'm also going to let them know that for years I've donated all of my old clothing and even some furniture to the folks who collect for veterans. Some of those shirts were pretty slick too- I hit those sales at Barney's pretty regularly back in the day.
Veterans Issues- Check

Way back in the 80's I chained myself to embassy gates, threw baggies of calves blood at surprised corporate supporters of apartheid and shut down the administrative building of a college that refused to divest. I hate the practice of race based servitude and I put a lot of work into fighting it.
Apartheid- Check

So, although I'm just in my 50's I've pretty much cleared my slate and fulfilled my personal quota for breast cancer (can I squeeze "women's issues" in there too?), veterans issues, colonialism and race based social and economic oppression on foreign soil. Later on today I'm going to google these three issues and make sure they have my contributions listed somewhere. There's gotta be some kind of data base or something right? Who's keeping track and how do I make sure I'm getting credit
I'm not through though. Although I'm not going to run or donate or protest injustices anymore- I have fulfilled my personal quota after all- I am going to keep thinking real hard about all these issues and remain open minded and anytime anybody wants to discuss them with me I'll listen intently for as long as I possibly can and nod in all the right spots, because I. Get. It. As a bonus I may even point out the selfish folks who I know have never run even an inch, boxed up old clothes or chucked a sandwich bag of blood at a white dude getting out of a limo. They are the real problem.
Least I can do right? We all have to pitch in to make this world a better place.


Oops, hold up. Almost forgot. One time on a project out west I hired a gay, Mexican designer in a wheelchair...

and Boom! I think my work here is done!

Are you retiring on those laurels or applying for the job as the leader of the free world in order to have the power to continue those fights?
