Yes, you're used to xenophobic billionaires controlling the conversation, but, believe it or not, there are some people out there like Bernie Sanders who are more interested in having a rational discussion about climate change, the disappearing middle class, and corruption. Last night on The Tonight Show, Sanders explained to Jimmy Fallon how Donald Trump is working to divide the country:

"Throughout history you've had demagogues trying to divert attention from the real issues. What somebody like Trump is trying to do is divide us up. A few months ago we were supposed to hate Mexicans–he thinks they're all criminals or rapists. Now we're supposed to hate Muslims, and that kind of crap is not going to work in the United States of America."

It's easy to get disillusioned with politics when there are serious panels on CNN trying to figure out if Trump is a fascist. Whether you support Sanders or not, at least respect the guy for not making a mockery of our political system. Maybe try this: every time Trump spews something hateful or racist, every time he's making headlines or sharing propaganda, just cleanse yourself with a quick look at Sanders' Twitter feed, where he says things like this:
