    It’s a US politics thing. Everyone that sets foot in the White House has to play ball, they just don’t know it until they get there. It would’ve been interesting to see Bernie react to the reality of things in the highest office, but that’s probably exactly why they never let him in.

      Bernie is the only US politician that actually fights for the common man. And the only reason I think he’s still a politician is because he’s got the support of enough people behind him that America’s oligarchy can’t stop him from at least holding some official positions of power and decision making. But I don’t ever see him being president of this nation, and at his age, it’s likely too late now.

        I think your mindset is a little too naive nowadays, especially seeing what both Biden and Obama have been capable of once in office. Very idealistic before getting there, but it must be a hell of a load on their shoulders with no real right answer to many things, based on factors we might not even be aware of. I agree that Bernie might fight back harder, and that’s exactly why I said the easiest solution is for them to not even give him the chance.
