Democrats who are not beholden to Wall Street and big pharma have the freedom to advocate for pro-worker policies and do fight for ordinary Americans. Corporate democrats dont have the freedom from their big money donors to do that, so end up with running on a platform of "omg, sexism, racism" because that is not a threat to their donors. The GOP lackeys of course have zero freedom from their donors to advocate for the 99% as well.

The Bernie strategy was to group people in only two camps: the elites who are 10% of the population but control 75% of the wealth VS everyone else of all races, gender identities, etc. The DNC / Hillary strategy was putting people in baskets of deplorability. Bernie understood that while people do have different experiences, status, etc, there are more things we have in common. We all drink unclean water and breath in dirty air, many of us would benefit if the CEO to average worker salary returned to what it was 50 years ago, etc. I would have voted for Bernie over Trump, I could not stomach voting Hillary for that and also her neo con foreign policy and Wall St coziness. The extreme anti White vitriol I read on social media and comments sections makes me question whether I can continue voting Democrat except at the local level. I have no problem with things like police shootings of Blacks talked about with action taken, what is going on now is blanket demonization of all White people.
