Sure. But I look at people's track record. Bernie has been railing against billionaires for literally decades. I voted for him. I wrote him in after the DNC screwed him. I'd rather throw my vote away than vote for Hilldawg. And I wasn't going to vote for Trump.

I think the only way to know for sure is to go to each county's GIS database in Vermont and try to find out how many houses they actually currently own. A lot of times the news reports when some politician bought another "mansion" in a hit piece, but they don't report that they sold two other houses. Hard to find that data.

well yeah but track record also is like this original meme, supporting hillary, say she won and was prez, would she "rail against billionaires"? Main reason she lost was people were burnt out by first her husband (nafta) and trhen obama's sellouts, where she was secretary of state so she was part of his admin. Dem has also lost the house in 2010 after people felt betrayed by obama's non stop sellouts. And tbf Bernie criticized a lot of this. So this is why he was so popular in 2016. And still is. He's not a "real democrat", people consider him less corrupt. But let's be honest, dems will rig their primary again. But even if not and he is somehow the candidate against trump, I am not going to get too excited. I'd vote for him but not with a ton of enthusiasm. I know if he is prez he will be selling out first day on the job. He will put goldman sachs guys in his cabinet. He will keep wars going. The mansion thing is too much of a coincidence to me, supports hillary then gets a new house. Whatever tho it's not even my main problem, endorsing Hillary is. If Biden is the 2020 nominee which I bet he is, Bernie will endorse him.
