Do you believe Bernie?

Bernie has said that despair is not an option and that he believes that the US can make it through this because we have overcome extreme challenges in the past. How can this actually be the case? Do you believe that we can make it out of this and come back stronger than before? After the Dems let us down yesterday, I feel like I lost all faith.

I am having an extremely hard time not despairing because I am seeing my country collapse in front of my eyes. I'm also really disheartened by the international response to current US politics--I feel like I'm losing everything and being scorned/mocked for it.

If you believe what Bernie says, I would love to hear some grounded and realistic takes on how we can survive this as a country. Please share some hope!
