In this episode of The Hill of Roses, we celebrate Bernie Sanders for announcing his run for President in 2020 as well as his bill to expand Social Security.

Furthermore, I offer a Bernie fan's critique of his policies to show that we can criticize and celebrate our own simultaneous for the trolls who accuse of falling prey to a cult of personality when declaring our champions by bringing the 8 policies where Bernie and I disagree that the American people have my back. We then close out by explaining why Bernie still is the best candidate and how you can help him in 2020.
