Bernie wants to run the DNC without being a Democrat.
Besides, if you think the planet is already beyond help, how can it matter who runs it. If you think that progress means going back to the years when Bernie's ideas were what Democrats believed., then we should have reached Utopia by now. If you think that a country containing less than 5% of the world's people, is going to save the world because Bernie hates corporations, then good luck with those alternatives to reality.
Corporations are just mechanisms that allow people to work together to achieve things that they want. Most scientific advances in agriculture, in health care, in transportation over the last two hundred years have come about through corporate research. The world's people are better fed, have better health, have more human rights, and have more democratic governments that they did when Bernie was born. We need to continue to regulate the way that corporations are allowed to operate.
Setting up boogeymen is easy, actually having a rational replacement is hard.
