Bernie rolled over like a dog for Hillary in 2016, so he does have some marks in giving in to the rich. He himself is also rich, owning multiple million dollar plus homes.

Not trying to be anti-Bernie, he's great and pushing for great things. I was feeling the Bern back in 2016. But we should always go into things eyes open and as informed as we can be.

He has a net worth of 3 million dollars in his eighties. I get that he isn’t poor but that’s peanuts for someone that was likely getting property for pennies on the dollar compared to what property costs now days. Him having 3 million net worth in his eighties doesn’t make him rich, everyone else in America not having a clear path to have 3 million in net worth to show for their time and effort after a lifetime contributing to society to enjoy or pass on to their dependents or important causes is the failure.

Thanks for filling in a bit more of the picture.

I thought rolling over for Hillary was because of some deal he made with the DNC to be a candidate but then support whatever decision they made?
