It always sounded that way everytime I heard him speak?
No. He's not okay with tax evasion and low-taxes on wealthy individuals, monopolies, as well as unfair wages for the working class. Completely different.
Also it's not like he actually he has 600k in hand, and even if he did, that is nothing for a U.S. Senator. The richest senator has a net worth of $448 million.
am confused at this thread implying that he pocketed his donation money for this.
Were you not confused when he stayed in the race waaaaaaay longer than he needed to and continued to accept donations from poor college students? Or when he had a ton of infractions because of international donations, people exceeding the max donation value, etc.?

Oh, makes sense. It's just that the few times I heard him speak he talked about rich people like they were the devil, as if they were the problem with this country.

Do you really think he collected $25million in donations just to buy a 600k home that he could have bought by saving up a money on a span of a few years from his gig as a senator?

No, I don't. But I also don't understand how you're "confused" by the idea behind the thread. There was backlash at the time saying that he needs to drop out and stop raising money when it was clear he was going to lose, and there was questionable behavior re: his donations even before that. I don't personally think he did anything illegal/immoral here, but the idea isn't confusing.

But it could have been the way I heard it.
That's because rich white ppl in the U.S. are the devil lmao. So much human rights violations and so much tax evasion/offshore baking. The wealth disparity in the U.S. is largely a result of rich people with their pseudo-monopolized corporations, soaking up money. The fact that the top 1% wealthiest people in society that have a disproportionate share of capital, political influence, and the means of production should be alarming to all of us.

What???? I never said anything about being confused. You're whining at the wrong person lmao.

Well they are, but it depends how you use your wealth.
He had a lot of celeb supporters like Susan Sarandon who are rich as ****.
He is really old and he has worked hard all his life for this so there's no problem with him getting this home really.

I'm confused that there needs to be any discussion about a 74 year old senator buying himself a 600k piece of real estate. Like, did you expect him to live in a log cabin and ride a tricycle to Congress because he's against corporations and for raising the minimum wage?
at ppl acting like he bought a house for tens of millions. 600k is middle class, maybe upper middle class, but still middle class. Hillary and Trump's rich asses are shook, they can't relate
if he's paying his taxes than this doesn't contradict his rhetoric
