Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from Vermont. He is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. A Democrat as of 2015, Sanders had been the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history, though his caucusing with the Democrats entitled him to committee assignments and at times gave Democrats a majority. Sanders has been the ranking minority member on the Senate Budget Committee since January 2015, and previously served for two years as chair of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee.
Sanders was born and raised in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1964. While a student, he was an active civil rights protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. After settling in Vermont in 1968, Sanders ran unsuccessful third-party campaigns for governor and U.S. senator in the early to mid-1970s. As an independent, he was elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont's most populous city, in 1981, and was reelected three times. In 1990, he was elected to represent Vermont's at-large congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1991, Sanders co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus. He served as a congressman for 16 years before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. In 2012, he was reelected with 71% of the popular vote. During the 2016 presidential primaries, Sanders became the first self-described democratic socialist and first Jewish American to win a presidential primary of a major party, namely the New Hampshire primary.

I'm sorry that Prospect Park isn't long enough a street to shake of my naivety
And all this heat between my shoulders will pass with this evening air
And my friends near, I'll take my pride by surprise and flip my conscience on its side
I'll take the long way and find out all that's wrong in my head
and drive out the demons in the words that I said
These sleepless nights aren't worth it anymore so I won't waste my time
Holding walls up and breaking them down again
You're the air that I can't breathe in
Give me oxygen
I've learned a few things from love to find that I know nothing at all, I gave my all
But when you give yourself you never get it all back again
(A burning house think fast of what to take away;
your sense of pride or the heart that you gave away)
I'm tired of yelling these five dollar lines into the sky with no reply
Just monitored disappointment, heavy handed cynicism
We'll be in luck to wake up
I can't feel anything from you
I found my weaknesses hiding behind my self-preserved defensiveness;
I'm burning from the promises
I never ever plan to keep; my self-control is losing me
I need to soak myself in hope and drain out all the things that kept me low
These sleepless nights aren't worth it anymore so I won't waste my time
Holding walls up and breaking them down again
You're the air that I can't breathe in
