Neoliberalism, My Ass

105. No problem

Your post left open the possible interpretation that you were saying Bernie can't because of his salary, which would be wrong, or that you were saying the other person was wrong disqualified using Bernie as an argument, which is a valid argument.

Now it's clarified, you meant the latter.

These things are tricky. Remember all of George H. W. Bush's money and activities weren't so much an issue, but when he didn't know the price of a gallon of milk it was a huge story attacking him for being out of touch.

It was a valid attack, but it's sill that it takes something like the milk to gain traction.

And some other rich guy who has no idea what milk costs might be a great fighter against poverty, and a lot of poor people are some of the worst voters supporting policies bad for the poor. You're right there's more to it than just being well off.
