It's not actually just because they have money to spare, although they do. It's because the wealth and income disparity has caused another even worse gilded age and likely on the backs and to the detriment of average American workers. And these undeservedly wealthy are buying the government in order to suck up even more of the pie.

No they won't because many of them didn't vote for Hillary and that's why she lost. Like I said, the candidate with the more passionate base is always the one that wins. If a candidate's supporters are lukewarm about them, then many of those supporters won't bother showing up to vote. And many Leftists weren't even lukewarm about Hillary, they refused to even consider voting for her. With Biden, it would be the same thing.

That's another reason why we shouldn't let so much wealth pool among a tiny elite. When the 1% gets that strong, they can control the government. We essentially have an oligarchy right now.
Despite living in NY where the fix was in anyway on the majority vote, I voted for her in an attempt to prevent the monstrosity that is Trump and to be able to say that I tried. I was a Bernie supporter back then as well.

Thankfully, there are people who have the sense to just vote for the lesser evil. Unfortunately, it's not enough to win elections, especially with the electoral college, which rigs the elections for Republicans. And if someone is planning to vote for the lesser evil, rather than someone they truly like, they're less likely to actually make it to the polls.
Which is why they are working so hard to smear Bernie. He said he is "coming for their greed."

And it's going to get a lot worse really soon. Even establishment Democrats rather have Trump than Bernie.
This was proven by the last election, but some folks are still falling for the BS that the MSM is selling about their wishful thinking on electability. There will be very few waking up on election day actually excited to vote for any of the Republican-lite candidates.
I have been realizing that and it's all the more reason to snatch this last chance before we turn into a full blown Kleptocracy/Corporatocracy. We really are that close.

Absolutely. There are things I dislike about Bernie, but I'll take him over a Fascist that's trying to cheat in elections.

Why do you think the left is ascendant?
We're over 2016. We've been over it for years. We moved on and developed an entirely new worldview that answers, rather than continues to ignore, the contradictions that Hillary ignored that inevitably lead to her defeat. This is a necessary step, we fell because of the contradictions inherent in our ideology, without an answer to them we were inherently vulnerable. You have not evolved, you have proposed nothing to solve the contradictions. You are a faded memory in the minds of most voters at this point, utterly unrepresentative and foreign to their material interests. We've realized, furthermore, that Trump and Hillary, are not at the end of the day so different. It makes you wake up somewhat when you elect a full throated fascist, and three years later, things are not much different - geez, I wonder what was so great about all those guys before the literal fascist, maybe it was all just propaganda.
You're still living it, still trying to relitigate it, still trying to find an excuse, still on the defensive, eternally caught in your own dementia web. Is it Russia? Is it Ukraine? What is betraying our republic and causing our great fellow citizens to fall for this charlatan? When will they awake and rejoin the eternal neoliberal slumber we were so peacefully enjoying? It is utterly pathetic. You lost. There is no one responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss, besides Hillary Clinton. Now your balls deep in this impeachment bullshit, which is never going to pass anyway, and the next election is coming up! Who cares! Jesus Christ!
Move. The. Fuck. On.
Four years ago, when I looked at Trump supporters (like on /r/the_donald), I felt incredible anger and fear. When I looked upon you and other neoliberals (like on /r/politics, the wapo comments section, other neoliberal hogwash), I felt I was with my allies, I felt joy. These days, things are entirely different. When I look at Trump supporters, I feel boredom, they're stale, they're spent, they're vulnerable. And when I look at you and the other neoliberals, I just cringe.
An opportunity is arising, we will seize it. You will come with us whether you like it or not. In four years, you will thank us. It is always darkest before the dawn. The dawn, comrade, it is coming.

Um, yeah, he's been a Russian bot since before the fall of the Wall.
why is one infiltrated candidate better than the other? Please explain. If someone is controlled by the russians, seems pretty hypocritical for you to vote for them
bernie "pretending" doesn't do jack shit for you, if he is operating at the will of putin.
