We should at least give credit to Bernie for consistency. He's been a left wing political activist his entire life. He came the House of Representatives 30 years ago and no doubt passed up many opportunities to make himself richer. Unlike AOC, when Bernie came to the House he was only noticed as an odd duck who made idealistic speeches that were considered irrelevant to the political sausage-making. Bernie only became a celebrity late in life when he moved to the Senate, issues of inequality really came to the fore, and when he ran for President. In contrast, Trump, Ron Johnson, and Eugene McCarthy changed with what seemed popular with their base.
