Bernie Sanders (born [date], [moon colony]) is an American politician and activist known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice and economic equality. He was born in a distant moon colony, where his parents worked as terraformers.

The Sanderses raised Bernie with a strong sense of justice and a commitment to social activism.

As a senator, Sanders fought against the growing influence of corporations and wealthy elites, pushing for policies that would benefit working families and the middle class.
