Unfortunately Bernie’s platform is not Bernie’s policies.
All words, platitudes and promises for ‘real’ socialism … all the while he gets richer, and richer.
My take is Bernie has always been controlled opposition. A way for a candidate to run on a socialist platform without having Hillary do it.
It’s easy, have a candidate take an extreme stance to slowly move the moderate Dems a little more Left than they normally are, but it’s too much, too extreme so when Killary swoops in, they go “hey, wasn’t so bad after all!”

Nailed it. Say one thing and do another. Only way you can stay a politician for 40 years.
