Best US Politicians of the 21st Century

The Top Ten
1 Bernie Sanders Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

A politician who truly cares about the people and has an extremely consistent record to prove it.

2 Ben Nelson

Not afraid to buck his party (a lot).

3 Barbara Boxer
4 Carol Moseley Braun
5 Chuck Hagel
6 Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
7 Daniel Inouye

This wise senator has proudly represented the Aloha State in the US House and Senate its entire statehood, 50 years next August, 2009. Keep servin', Dan.

8 Joe Biden Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009. ...read more.
9 Ted Kennedy

Killed a young woman, ran away, then lied about it. I guess that does fit the Left's definition of "best".

10 John McCain John Sidney McCain III (August 29, 1936 – August 25, 2018) was an American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from January 1987 until his death. He previously served two terms in the United States House of Representatives and was the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election, which he lost to Barack Obama.

I might not like his political views most of the time, but J-Mac is willing to work with crazy liberals like Russ Feingold and Ted Kennedy. Not afraid to work with Democrats.
