Nah, Bernie won't even run this time. It'll be another creepy dem scumbag like Newsom or whomever. Guaranteed loser to help their fellow right-wingers.

Clearly Bernie Sanders is a positive force for actual left-wing policies. But the criticism (that you all so readily downvote) is that Bernie will redirect frustrated Americans to continue to vote for Democrats. While we can't be sure that this will happen again, it sure has happened in the past.

We cannot expect politicians to save us, because they invariable work within a system that is incapable of significant positive changes. Both parties take donations from billionaires, both parties play in the stock market, both parties give corporate welfare, and both parties will fight tooth and nail to maintain the two-party system.

The real way forward is bottom-up, not top-down. The American people need to save America: grassroots organizing, mass protests, labor strikes, boycotts, and civil disobedience. If we don't actually go outside, things will only continue to deteriorate.
