Yeah it kind of reminds me of why I thought Bernie Sanders was once a useful voice. He was willing to point out realities that most political elites wanted to keep hidden.

His solutions though are crap, and he has profited greatly off the misfortune of the poor.

Sanders has profited off the misfortune of the poor? How so?

Because he exploits their situation to promise them free stuff by taking from the wealthy. That wealth taken might give some poor a token gift, but mostly it ends up in the pockets of bureaucrats.

Maybe not, maybe he only has one modest home which is still more than the people he appeals to, but not utterly hypocritical.
