RE: Why Bernie Sanders is an Intellectual Coward
Being someone who has met the man in casual settings, and who used to live about 10 minutes away from his very humble home in the New North End of Burlington VT, i can safely say your assumptions about profit motives are false. He is genuinely someone who wants to help others, and you will only find stories and history about him that reflect this sentiment.
Whether his ideas are valid or not, or are aligned with your personal philosophies is another story entirely, and completely up to debate. But to draw a conclusion based on nothing more than an anecdotal assumption about someone's character is a cocktail of logical fallacy.
That's fair.
So what's he doing with the rest of his campaign donations?
Fair question, with an unfair answer. The rules for the "Democratic National Committee" (or, undemocratic as I like to crack) is that his unspent funds are to be donated to the nominee. Which at this very point, is still undetermined. Considering the Hillary wikileak, the 20+ lawsuits and the fact that she's losing to Trump in all polls, it's not completely impossible the super-delegates will place their votes on Bernie, giving him the nomination at this contested convention. We will know very soon what happens next.
