Oh good. Bernie is considered a “progressive” now? A millionaire with multiple houses, who’s taken in no homeless people with his megawealth, has only ever donated proceeds from books he had ghostwritten when put under duress is a leading progressive?
Someone with a net worth at or below US average (~$200,000.00), who actually remembers trying to make ends meet on minimum wage, who owns no more than one home (preferably someone who rents). Oh, and preferably someone whose earnings mostly come from either a full-time W2 job or gig income (Uber, Lyft, etc.), not book sales or capital investment.
You do you, but personally I’m more focused on a politician’s actions and policies, rather than their financial situation and background.
Bernie has been consistently on the right side of most issues for his whole political career from where I’m standing. To me, the fact that he’s 84 years old and only worth a couple of million actually sets him apart from many of his rich, corporate owned colleagues.
I’m sure they are so progressive that they’ve housed a ton of unhoused people and freely give up their own food as well. It’s the only measure of progressive!
Oh no, you see they’re “not rich enough to make a difference”, so they’re allowed to do nothing. Since the definition is intrinsic to them they’ll never be “rich enough” to help and they’ll always “help when I’m rich enough to make a difference”. So they can always be good people while doing nothing and they can always chastise the rich for “not doing enough” no matter how much they’re helping because “if they were that rich they’d help more”
It’s really beautiful actually how perfect the system is.

We need to start electing real people.
Who would you like to see elected instead?

So how do you feel about AOC?
Not a huge fan, but I find her ballooning bank account compared to her salary to be the most damning thing about her.
Lol, she’s worth about 60k, give or take.
Beginning to think this guy who hates bernie because he’s “rich” might not be expressing his actual reasoning.
This is why no one loves you

/s because of today’s political climate
