    Oh good. Bernie is considered a “progressive” now? A millionaire with multiple houses, who’s taken in no homeless people with his megawealth, has only ever donated proceeds from books he had ghostwritten when put under duress is a leading progressive?

    We need to start electing real people.

        Someone with a net worth at or below US average (~$200,000.00), who actually remembers trying to make ends meet on minimum wage, who owns no more than one home (preferably someone who rents). Oh, and preferably someone whose earnings mostly come from either a full-time W2 job or gig income (Uber, Lyft, etc.), not book sales or capital investment.

        I’m sure they are so progressive that they’ve housed a ton of unhoused people and freely give up their own food as well. It’s the only measure of progressive!

        /s because of today’s political climate
