I’m late to the Bernie Sanders phenomena. Just a couple years now. But I just have to ask, how did we not have such a man leading the country? Everything he says is simply common sense

The Democratic party is largely corrupt as we're seeing by a lot of their members behavior. That's why he's not leading the country. The county is too down into the toilet to elect him. His protege AOC however has a chance to be the country's future president.
He was an egocentric iconoclast who refused to join the Democratic party except for six months in 2016. On his own other than being a good speaker he is a legislative sinkhole.
I can’t stand him but I wonder if this is what it takes to beat Trump. He’s the Trump of the left: He brays simple slogans, makes ridiculous promises (free college!), and hasn’t done much after 40 years as a politician other than be a cult of personality. If this is what it takes, so be it.
At this point with public service persons getting their forgiveness loans revoked they’ll go for anything whether they get the full deal of “free college” or not
People love Bernie or hate him. I can see the side you're on.
Bernie simply believes in FDR's Economic Bill of Rights more fervently than many Dems. As a trad FDR New Deal Dem, I'm more with Bernie than the DLC/New Dem/Third Way corporate coddlers. Centrist Dems don't fight, 'cause they don't care.

The U.S. govt is nothing but a bunch of criminals who allow themselves and their friends to profit off their positions of power
They’d never risk a candidate like Bernie, hence establishment Hillary
