I will admit that I am not the closest follower of Bernies networth but what I can find is that he made most of his (~3 mio) networth in the last 10 years by writing books. I don't really see how that invalidates his fight for the little man, he is consistent in his messaging for decades.


Doesn't make him wrong, just makes him look out of touch. Same as AOC wearing at $20k dress to the met gala that said "eat the rich." They are incapable of seeing the irony.

If Bernie drew a line in the sand like Rfk Jr and Tulsi I'd have more respect. He may have even beat trump in 16, but the powers in the democratic party said its Hillary's turn. He's like a puppy who gets kicked by his master and doesn't know why he's loyal.

What? Yeah, you don’t know much about Bernie I guess. He’s a slumlord brother. He is partnered in a lot of rental real estate in decline. Has been forever.

But to be fair he has been a politician a long time AND has written many books as well. So he has had wealth pretty much his entire life compared to the average US citizen.


Any source for the first claim?

I’m not going to do all your googling for you but I’ll steer you in the right direction. Look up all the Burlington projects like Northgate, Thayer and others he got involved in to “make things better”. People(friends) he helped place and find in positions of power in these low income housing spaces. He was involved in a lot of this stuff in the 80’s and 90’s. When I was a youngster and my parents split we lived in Thayer. Basically it’s the same old song and dance:

Bring in new blood to spruce the place up.

Delay on repairs.

Up prices using delayed repairs as an excuse.

I think Northgate is ok now I’m not sure if they rebuilt or renovated(I live in Texas now). Thayer is still a dump.

He’s basically Trump but on a lower scale. Invest in properties as a behind the scenes character. Get paid by the scum friends. Act righteous. But yes look into Northgate and Thayer. I know there has been articles about those two for sure.

I Googled for both of those + Sanders and found literally nothing even pointing in the direction you are talking about, did you just make those accusations up?

You did not. You are just trying to get me to linger around humoring you of which I will not do because I lived it. He was literally the mayor of Burlington from 81-89.

What do you know. Tons of article about Northgate alone!

https://www.google.com/search?q=bernie+sanders+northgate&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

Oh right! Mentioning he was trying to “help” residents as I said too. Go back under your msm rock and stop lying and making people do your footwork for you.

I WAS THERE. I LIVED IT. I remember watching my mother cry as the prices got to high as everything was breaking down. Know who benefited? Unemployed or Wealthy people. Not a single working class person.

You, msm and every other person can spin stuff how they want but those who lived it know.

If you scroll down a little citizens are still fighting for rights and control in some of these communities btw. The Burlington housing situation has only declined over the last 40-50 years.

(Now I know you will read, retort, point out people were glorifying him and his cronies nonsense. I won’t humor you anymore though because you already lied once saying you couldn’t find his name connected to any of it. So I’m not going to bother to argue with a person who - A. Refuses to even try and B. Has an agenda that would cause them to set aside any sense of morality in order to say “I was right”.)

Bernie is a joke. A champagne socialist.

The most famous socialist in the country and he's a millionaire with 3 homes.

I did find your link, literally nothing in it points to Bernie being a Slumlord or profitting from it it any way. I will just assume you are delusional because you are mad about your childhood, that seems most plausible by now.

Edit: I like how I am and the MSM are at fault for literally nobody else claiming what you do - but sure, you are the one guy in the internet knowing the truth about Bernie :bonk:

One last edit, (also do not not reply with more of your sad childhood): just because your living situation sucked does not mean that Bernie is responsible for it. Politicians often times have good intentions and the reality might then seem different, that should still not be confused with not having good intentions at all though.

I never heard back from you, did you bother to fact check if (D) party is heavily criticized for abandoning the working class and that Trump's approval rating is soaring right now because he's keeping his promises while you accuse him of lying to the American people?

What exactly am I fact checking there mate? You keep arguing with points I am not making, unless yiu want to claim his approval means he is for the little guy. I already know you like the guy, you elected him - he still lied to you and will not get groceries prices down, because he really does not care about you at all.
