Everything Bernie and is striving for, we've achieved here in Australia. Surprise - we're not a socialist nation!
The way you've been mentally conditioned to oppose change is actually quite sad. You're so disacotiated from the rest of the world you believe the way things run in the US is perfectly normal. It isn't. Other nations, even ones you'd consider less developed than you, have more effective systems in place and don't need to struggle.

You do understand that Bernie has to get approval from other places to get things done, right? He might say all these wonderful things that you agree with, but the difference between Bernie and Hillary is that
Hillary knows how to actually get things done.
Bernie has gotten 3 bills signed into law during the 16 years in the House & 9 years in the Senate. He introduced 353 bills in that time though, so doing the obvious math he couldn't get 350 bills to pass.
He's a very polarizing figure. Younger millennials may like him, but they aren't the ones in the house or senate. He's an independent who just labeled himself as democrat. Obviously the republican party won't like him, but a lot of democrats don't like him either due to his attacks against the democratic party.
You've called Hillary supporters dumb in this thread for not wanting Bernie, but what's dumb is putting all your efforts behind a man who has less experience than Hillary and can only get 0.8% of his bills passed. You won't get change if he wins. You'll get a stubborn old man that can't agree with anyone, wasting away in the White House while someone like Hillary who can make an easier, more moderate change misses another opportunity.
This is the anger and bargaining stage, it will get better.
