Look, I see all kinds of issues where I can largely agree with Bernie, thing is he is not that far apart on policy from Hillary.

But on to your main point as I understand it, you suggest that the main problem in politics is corruption, or quid pro quo, and by your avatar you believe Bernie is the only sound choice in the Dem primary on that score.

I will sketch out a scenario for you, probably badly but here goes: A politician has had certain goals or issues to make a difference on since their first days in politics. Over time not much progress is made, not for lack of effort. Most of that effort revolved around campaigning to like minded people and networking with like minded people. People who did not agree with the politicians approach just tended not to make time to listen. People who agreed with the politician did not form a large enough block to move the issue forward. Prior to the end of this politicians career, the politician tried other approaches that involved compromising on various issues in order to get support for his/her bill or program. This approach was more successful.

Now a similar sketch could be drawn out involving how to raise money.

I hope my post is found useful or interesting.
