I don't think you understand the generational divide within the Democratic party and the American electorate more broadly.

People under 45 are overwhelmingly voting for Sanders because they have disproportionately experienced the adverse effects of our faltering economic system. As a result, they are moving to the left and will likely continue to do so as long as the neoliberal consensus continues its reign in Washington. Millennials face unprecedented challenges in finding good employment and achieving upward class mobility. Neoliberal hegemony guarantees that these problems will only continue to increase in the coming years; consequently, we likely have only begun to see the emergence of new class-based popular movements. There is much greater social turbulence on the horizon.

I agree with everything you just wrote. How does Sanders factor into the equation is the larger question. A 75 year old career politician that has never shown any real leadership isn't the guy to lead the movement. Its the same reason that Hillary Clinton lacks crebility when she attempts to play the progressive card. Sanders has been an elected official for longer than she has and has been co-opted at least twice with respect to his political affiliation. Obama was supposed to be leading a revolution also but when you don't have a history of doing such a thing, said proclamations just ring hollow.

He is a career politician, which makes him a member of the "political class". Railing against money in politics doesn't exclude him from being a member of the political class.

Excellent point. That's pretty much the essence of the difference between him and everyone else between the two parties.

He's like a lone wolf Chicago cop who wants cops held accountable and wearing body cams or a mlb player railing against PEDs who wants blood testing.

Ultimately, the people still decide, and they almost always make the right choice. If people really didn't want Hillary she'd lose especially with the "promises" that Bernie is making.

To be honest, if corporations couldn't contribute I think things would be roughly the same.
