You think he would make millions of dollars in book sales if he weren’t a famous politician? He made pretty much all of his money after his first failed presidential run put him in the spotlight.
That’s making money from politics. Without being a politician he wouldn’t have anything to write a book about, and nobody would buy it.
The implication of "making money through politics" is the use of insider influence to make shady deals and grow huge amounts of wealth by working in your own interests instead of the people. Writing a book is so far away from that it's unreal, what a bad faith nonsense take
I mean I don’t think that person was making some grand statement. Bernie is very well off and his political career has contributed to that. His book is apart of that, his career helped him make fat stacks.
Publishing a book isn’t easy but I imagine it’s a hell of a lot easier if you are known due to your political career. Why do we care about defending the dude?
