    I didn’t know Bernie Sanders was a plutocrat. Just because one race is inaccessible from the working class doesn’t mean all elections are rigged.

    Learned helplessness.

      Are you arguing my point for me? Indeed, Sanders is exceptional, truly one of a kind - I’m not being sarcastic here, he really is a remarkable person.

      But how many times did he get to run for president? Zero. Both times he was shut down. In any normal country, I have no doubts he would have been president.

      What conclusions you decide to take are up to you, don’t make that my responsibility. You can take it lying down if that’s what you prefer, we tend to go out and make a bit of a mess around here.
