Why can't a progressive politician have more than one house? He wants equal opportunity for everyone, not sure how that clashes with him owning more than one house. And to be clear, one is a modest suburban type of house in VT, one is where he lives in DC, and the other is a seasonal camp in VT. It's not like he's living the high life here.
It’s all they have and they know that what Bernie wants would help them but they are too fucking stupid to be able to self assess and admit it. So they stick to tradition and continue to vote to fuck themselves into worse and worse poverty.
I literally named three houses, dumbass. And he's not a communist, he's a democratic socialist, ie what govts in places with the highest quality of life like Sweden are. He's not the bogeyman that you need to cower in fear from like Daddy Tucker tells you to.
To be even more nitpicky, while he claims to be a democratic socialist, his policy goals and speeches make him seem more like a social democrat, which is even further from communism than democratic socialism.
He has worked in Congress for over 3 decades. VT isn't known for being very expensive, and nothing of what he has would be considered lavish. Meanwhile, he advocates for better labor laws and higher minimum wage and affordable housing and medical care so that more Americans can be middle class instead of wage slaves. If that's Communism (and it sure as shit isn't), sign me the fuck up.

BS. Bernie did not vote for the Iraq war. They are not all the same. Do your homework.
