I remember in the 80’s he said millionaires shouldn’t exist. He changed that to billionaires in the early 2000’s. Hillary said it best that no one in Washington likes him and there’s a reason no one wants to work with him.
Four years ago he said it’s a good thing if we are all standing line like a soup kitchen receiving food. He’s out there and very much against capitalism, the very thing that worked for him. I find it ironic that socialism, that he preaches, is what cost him the presidency. He won some states, only to be taken away by super delegates and given to Hillary. Socialism at its finest.
If, in today's Washington, nobody likes you… well, let's just say that this is a thing that shouldn't be a point of criticism.
Also, he does not preach socialism.
Also, it's the DNC that cost him a chance at the presidency, as well as messaging campaigns — by which you apparently remain misled — from right wing media, and, to a larger extent, corporate media in general.
Democracy Now did a great job covering the media response to Bernie during his run. A super-brief summary: While Bernie was outdrawing Trump
by a wide margin in terms of rallies and social media buzz (never mind Hillary, who paled by an even larger margin), Bernie was receiving almost no media coverage outside of independent media sources such as democracynow.org.
Trump and Bernie would have a rally on the same day. Bernie would outdraw Trump — who was drawing a lot of people — by a large margin (almost invariably), and, yet, Trump's rallies would receive incredible coverage on corporate media, often live coverage. People love to talk about Trump being good for TV ratings, owing coverage of him to that. There is truth to that. But there's also truth to that Trump was also less of a threat to corporate interests.
