He’s one of the furthest left politicians in the history of the country and has been consistent with it since the 60s.

I find it more weird that the vast majority of the USA is probably piss-poor to normal poor, yet even those seem to think that a billionaire will care for them and better their lifes. And then wear maga-hats.
Or do people with 6-figures think they’re not poor? But I so would wish you guys that next election he might get a rerun, considering how the clown drove the USA into the gutter. I mean if that gestures broadly at everything didn’t help to vote differently, then what would…
