Can a Bernie Bro actually explain how they follow this hypocrite without gagging?

I still can't take this socialist seriously, lambasting people on the evils of the rich, tweeting from one of his three houses.

WTF. That's ridiculous. He has a very modest vermont house he owned for many years, a 1 bedroom townhouse in DC, and a vacation house in maine inherited from his wife's family that they sold and bought a vacation house in vt. Is he supposed to live in a cardboard box? Donate all of what they inherited to charity and wear hair shirts?

Patrick, i know I’ve suggested it before, and you said you don’t like the idea, but i think there is value in knowing who is voting, up or down. Also who it is that is liking and disliking.
That’s how it is on proboards.

How is Bernie a hypocrite?
Relative to any other politician?
A 1 bedroom condo in dc and a plain jane colonial in north burlington for a us senator? People consider that extravagant somehow? What a stupid thought.
Mr. Sanders, 75, who grew up poor in Brooklyn, seems to enjoy the good life. Like any good capitalist, he keeps consuming, buying a third home in 2016, a four-bedroom waterfront house on Lake Champlain in Vermont. Mr. Sanders and his wife own another home in nearby Burlington, as well a pricey townhouse in an upscale neighborhood on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Not bad for a poor little socialist
But you won’t find that new home listed under Mr. Sanders‘ own name. Instead, the ownership is hidden behind a family trust. “I am a co-trustee in a family trust created when we bought a summer home,” he said. But isn’t that what ALL great socialists say? And they want fun with the name: Islands Family Trust.

It seems the only way to defend Bernie to to lie about what he actually owns. "modest homes". yeah fucking right.

Just imagine where the country would be if he actually won the election.
Trump free. Enough said.
A 1 bedroom townhouse in DC is lavish how?

How is Bernie a hypocrite?
Oh that old gag again. That was thoroughly debunked when posted under one of your previous iterations
It seems the only way to defend Bernie is to lie about what he actually owns. "modest homes". yeah fucking right.
How many homes should he own?
The guy isn’t just part of the wealthy 1%.
He’s the most respected United States Senator in congress. That puts him in the 1% of a very powerful segment of .001% of the population.
He’s a great American trying to #MAGA
10 ups
3 downs
That’s an odd ratio for a thread that is FakeNews

He can own as many homes as he wants, he can use as many tax breaks as he can figure out. But if he's going to attack capitalist as greedy, and attack others for not "contributing their fair share", then people are going to rightfully view him as a giant stinky hypocrite.
His net worth in 2014 was ~500k
errc saysHis net worth in 2014 was ~500k
It's 2018, what's his net worth now, after receiving a free house and payoff from Hillary?
Your point is that Bernie is a man of the people?
errc saysYour point is that Bernie is a man of the people?
Yep, the 1%.
Feel left out yet?
Or feel the Burn ?(there is medication that will help that medical issue).
So you have no point.
Just jealous of ol Bernie, huh

An FBI probe into a 2010 property deal orchestrated by Jane Sanders, wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has escalated after a report by VTDIGGER reveals that a grand jury has been empaneled, and at least one witness has given sworn testimony in the case.
The Grand Jury will decide whether or not indictments should be handed down over a $10 million loan orchestrated by Jane Sanders purchase a 33 acre property for the now defunct Burlington College - allegedly obtained through a 'fraudulent scheme.' Mrs. Sanders is accused of having lied about funding for transaction, while the FBI has also been looking into claims that Bernie Sanders' office pressured the bank to approve the loan.
In June 2017, Politico confirmed that Bernie Sanders and his wife Jane had retained high powered DC lawyers amidst the investigation.
Meanwhile, Sanders was rapidly earning a reputation for her "toxic and disruptive" leadership style, and in late 2008, according to a 2016 essay on the college written by a former teacher Greg Guma, "Nearly half of the students and faculty members signed a petition demanding a meeting about the "Crisis in leadership," while Jane Sanders' salary rose to $150,000 in 2009 amidst a tuition hike from $5,000 to $22,407 in 2011. Meanwhile, enrollment dropped by almost 25%.
Compounding an already dire situation, Sanders' original claim of $2.4 million in confirmed donor pledges was quickly reduced to $1.2 million according to documents filed in the first fiscal year after the purchase - yet in records obtained by VTDigger, Burlington College received only $279,000. Despite hopes by Sanders and college trustees that they could boost enrollment and expand the student body, nothing changed - and the school failed at raising the money to satisfy it's loans.
And then Jane Sanders was fired, with a $200,000 severance package.
In order to try and avoid bankruptcy, Burlington college sold off pieces of the 33 acre property to a local developer - which allowed the institution to pay off some of the debt Jane Sanders had accumulated, however in April 2016 the bank called it's loan - and on May 28th, the college closed it's doors after 44 years in operation.
With a Grand Jury now empaneled and interviewing witnesses in the Burlington College saga, one can imagine the outcome of their investigation will largely determine whether Bernie Sanders is a viable candidate in 2020, should he wish to challenge Oprah Winfrey of course.
