      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.

        You do you, but personally I’m more focused on a politician’s actions and policies, rather than their financial situation and background.

        Bernie has been consistently on the right side of most issues for his whole political career from where I’m standing. To me, the fact that he’s 84 years old and only worth a couple of million actually sets him apart from many of his rich, corporate owned colleagues.
