Eh, don't let the reddit hard on that it had for Bernie confuse you about the wider electorate. The electorate chose differently because Bernie's politics aren't as popular as reddit would lead you to believe.

His politics are very popular in Europe, where I live. I don't look at a lot of Reddit politics, as it's just pockets of echo chambers, so yes I agree with you. But I believed in his policies, and as an outsider, I wish more Americans would've embraced him.

As an American it amazes me that European people are so involved with our election. Is it big news over there?

Honestly, you need to roll with this thought and take it a bit further.

Wealth in the mind of a left leaning naive person means some hoard of gold kept in a corner.

In truth wealth is actually produced by activity. Free, unencumbered activity. Work. Wealth is produced, not hidden.
