That account, along with his whole campaign, is the work of three teenagers. 

From the article:

“These young students contacted me a week ago asking would I run for president and I responded to them saying, ‘Do you realize how old I am?’” Gravel told The Washington Post. “I’ll be 89 years old in May, so it’s preposterous to think that I could serve as president.”

It took some convincing, but Gravel was ultimately persuaded by a three-page strategy memo that the students drafted and their assurance that they would handle all of the day-to-day work of the campaign. Their ultimate goal wasn’t to win the election but rather to qualify him for the Democratic debates, so that he could use that platform to “issue a critique of American militarism, plutocracy, and inaction on climate,” as his newly-created website states.

“These people weren’t just whistling Dixie,” Gravel said. “They were well-grounded.”

Great question. If a coal miner unionized, the mining company had hired thugs on call to immediately and forcibly evict the miner’s family from their company-owned home. There are cases of thugs beating the pregnant wives of union miners to purposefully cause a miscarriage. When one of the few members of local law enforcement who refused to take mine company bribes and actually cared about the miners was murdered, over 3,000 miners assembled to strike. The strike ignored racial, gender, sociology-economic barriers of the time, as women, men, European immigrants, former slaves, miners, doctors, and many more joined the strike.

You’re going to have great times in a relationship. You’re going to go on fun dates and have great sex and hot make out sessions. But you’re also going to fight. You’re going to be in that weird stage where you like them more than they like you or vice versa and that’s going to hurt. You’re going to have to deal with jealousy and insecurity. You will have to deal with boredom in the relationship. You’re going to be too busy for them or accidentally hurt them. And you are going to have to deal with a few break ups before you find that right one.
