      The problem with Bernie, is he’s just unfortunately about 30 years ahead of his time. He’s universally almost always right (IMO), but you also can’t completely expect a system to flip itself on its head overnight. He’s doing the important work, and laying important foundations. The crappy part is, he’s probably not going to be around for the time it actually starts to take effect.

        I mean afaik Bernie’s original fight was for racial equality. IMO this an extension of that. He’s not ideologically driven, he’s addressing the same poverty from back then that still exists today. The solutions just happen to be socialist.
