      I lived in prime Trump Country during 2016, and a couple people told me that they admired Bernie because he was honest and also hated billionaires.

      Plus I had a few guys on the verge of staging a takeover of the local concrete plant until Der Kommissar pointed out that I was describing a socialist cooperative.

        “BuT tHaT’s SoCiaLiSm”

        And that’s why Bernie would’ve had a better chance against Trump in the general election than Hillary did. But neoliberals and partisan Democrats absolutely hate having that truth being pointed out to them.
