Aren't they ALL exceptionally awesome until they get elected and nothing ever changes then?

Unfamiliar with his career, eh?

Non-american, so yes 😊 Enlighten me?

He's one of the furthest left politicians in the history of the country and has been consistent with it since the 60s.

If you've heard of him, it was him getting sidelined in 2016 so the Democrats could run Hilary Clinton. If you haven't heard of him, it's because that sidelining extends to his entire career.

I wouldn't vote for him now due to his age but he would have been a powerhouse if he won.

I read often of him, and it always sounded like a very solid idea. But probably too good for the common peasant and hence sidelined. The orange clown seems kinda like the absolute opposite. So OK I guess I can retract my bitter statement. There might be good guys left, they just never make it. Oh wait, that's also bitter....

I mean there’s a lot of truth to that. I was always skeptical that Bernie could work well with others enough to be productive, since he’s spent so much of his long career standing against every politician

Then the weird part is there was a surprisingly large overlap of people who supported both Bernie and the orange clown. So strange when you’re thinking opposite gaols, but perhaps it’s just that both were outside the establishment
