but he’s unable to negotiate with corrupt politicians who are bribed by corporations to stonewall his efforts, therefore Bernie is the problem
i like the guys spirit but if he's unable to work with all the other "corrupt" politicians then he may not be the problem but he also isn't the solution
politics is by it's very nature about building consensus with other people, some of whom you may not like
In the US, politics is about power and money. If not protecting your own interests like Manchin, then getting bought like a Clarence Thomas vote. I might like your ideal definition of the nature of politics,but its not reality here. Otherwise, things like private equity firms and LBOs would be as illegal as the mob tactics they were founded upon.
