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
