They get so angry when you point out their socialist god-king has done less for America than President Biden did, because their god-king is a grifter who's fleecing gullible rubes.

$2.5 isn't even a damn fortune. It's owning a house in San Francisco.

Isn’t most of his “fortune” like 3 properties he’s owned for 50 years

According to this article, making a living off selling books instead of your actual job as a politician is “Trumpian” in some fashion

I assume they go after every politician who publishes a book with similar fervor.

'fortune' lol I've seen financial planners throw around 3 million as a comfortable retirement number, if Bernie had normal health insurance he could afford like three medical emergencies maybe

Even forbes has reported that 41% of retirees said they need between 1 mil to 2 mil to live comfortably. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcarlson/2024/05/24/how-much-money-do-you-really-need-to-retire-comfortably/

Isn’t 2.5 million like a reasonable retirement nest egg for anyone who hopes to quit working at some point in their lives lol. Like literally any random boomer has this level of wealth

Look, if you want to criticize capitalism it's very important that you're poor enough that you're vulnerable to financial threats and a well funded lawsuit would wipe you out even if it was meritless.

Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.
