Oh that will never happen. They first flood the zone with liquidity and then flood the zone with immigrant labor, to make both savings and labor diluted. The finance minister of Canada already announced that in the name of modern supply side growth [1]. One thing both mainstream liberals and conservatives are unified on is to slow wage growth.

Bernie was a mainstream liberal. I think you're referring to the slightly less right wing Democrats

  Oh even Bernie knows how he got c*@kblocked by the mainstream liberals to run for president. Would he make a better candidate and president than Joe? Yes of course, no brainer. Would he make the liberal donor class upset and they couldn’t afford to have him run? 100%.

    Whether Sanders would make a better president than Biden is a matter I'm not sure on, I'm reasonably convinced that he would not have made a better candidate. A more polarizing candidate, yes, and more inspiring to the left wing, but not a better candidate overall. Some of his keystone positions like Medicare for All don't turn out to be very popular even among democrats. Say what you want about the process, but he did lose the nomination. If you think that's just because the establishment was being unfair, think of how unfair the opposition would have been in the general election.

This poll says 69% support M4A. What I worry is that talk about "Medicare For All" and "Single Payer" and other phrases might run into a similar problem the Affordable Care Act had where a lot of people didn't know that ObamaCare was just a nickname for the ACA, and there was a slew of people that said they didn't like ObamaCare but they liked the ACA.

  Sanders is a social democrat - not a liberal as you described, nor a democratic socialist as he describes himself.
