It is becoming clearer and clearer by the day that if Bernie is our next president, he will take LOADS of shit if he doesn't SOLELY focus on improving the finances of a very specific segment of our society.
They will not tolerate him doing anything else, this is now clear to me.
The same way they didn't tolerate Obama improving healthcare because he didn't do single payer and he didn't immediately close Gitmo, etc...the list of reasons why he was no longer supported, is long, but not credible.
So if you have concerns that arent linked to overall Wall Street/financial areas, may have to shelve em for a while.
