Being able to change minds when access is available to new information is a fundamental part of being a human.

The thought of Hillary Clinton being the next president has driven Democratic voters right to Bernie Sanders.

People get thrilled every time a presidential candidate is talking about providing free health care, solving an environmental crisis, raising taxes on the rich, and most of all, making college affordable. This is what Sanders is doing.

With his political stances, he has drawn thousands of energetic supporters to his events, surged in polls, and raised millions by calling for a “political revolution” focused on fighting income inequality, climate change, “corporate greed.”

He has also recently addressed such issues as the racial divide in this country and immigration, even though a number of activists from the Black Lives Matter movement shut him down on stage.

To silence a voice such as his would be unfathomable.

Sanders has significantly improved this election season’s political debates. Not only that but aside from some of his opponents, he’s run a campaign with a level of respect and maturity.

His platforms on key issues are breathtaking in their ambition but can he deliver?

Does he actually have the ability to follow through with his plans and make the United States of America a better place?

Sanders does seem like the person too good to be true, but a part of me has to believe that his lengthy track record and strong will could possibly make these policies our reality. After all, he has a long history of being a true left politician who has stuck with his message from the very beginning.

Lately, it’s obvious that Sanders has drawn massive crowds nearly everywhere he’s traveled and it can be seen all over the news, with majority of the enthusiasm coming from college students.

Because most of his followers are college students, he has attracted support from an unlikely group of people who don’t typically vote. He’s caught the eyes of young people. And the young voters have justifiably begun to “feel the Bern.”

As Americans, we should visualize who we want as our next president and Sanders is extremely smart and well informed. He doesn’t back down in a fight.

As president, he would take his political agenda to the oval office. With Sanders standing strong in his word, there is a possibility he can convince Americans to not only “feel the Bern” but also to support legislation that could benefit everyone in the long run. Legislation which could call for that “political revolution”— a vast new government that would fund benefits to individuals, including health insurance, and free tuition at public colleges.
