and start realizing what a Jewish president would mean for the world

I don’t think we should care about his religion.

ok but it’s literally not just his religion? Bernie sanders is ethnically Jewish. his parents were holocaust survivors; victims of systematic racism. he has been oppressed his whole life because of his jewishness. and if he was to be president it would be incredibly significant to Jewish people and their lives. and I definitely think people aren’t recognizing that enough.
