I agree that Bernie’s ideas resonate but they will never go anywhere due to Citizens United and social media. The “people” will always be vulnerable to whatever social media algorithms and disinformation is fed to them. It’s safe to say that big tech, hostile foreign nations and the GOP who fuel these methods are never looking out for the working people. Bernie himself was amplified by the troll farms in 2016 despite him disavowing them and never seeking it. He was used as a spoiler to hurt Clinton. Had he gotten the nomination, the troll farms would have been directed against him.[/quote]

PP.  I appreciate your point but it is unfortunately (and respectfully) self-defeating.  When people think things can't ever change, then they never do.  It can change from the grass roots.  If it weren't for bad actors inside the Dem political machinery in 2016, Bernie would have won the 2016 nomination and his ideas would have likely beat out Trump.  We would be looking at an entirely different America today.  We were so close once and people are more dissatisfied than in '16.  If Dems don't figure out how to channel the working class anger at being screwed by "the system", then you risk losing more national elections.     [/quote]
