Do you expect Mayor Pete at the wine cave and to Google folks said, "Decisions and actions under my presidency will change things, you rich folks will have to suck it up, accept less, and fundamentaly change"?

Biden drew heat for telling his rich private audience of big money contributors - wealthy donors to his effort - nothing would fundamentally change. He knew his audience. Do you believe Mayor Pete knows his audience less? What is believed here at Crabgrass is that whatever gets promised behind closed doors to ultra wealthy donors is what, in fact, will be what happens if the perp making big money promises gets elected. Those people keep score. They know what they want to hear, and keep score, and that is why in 2016 Ms. Clinton shaking the Goldman Sachs money tree for six-figure closed-audience fee cash going to her personally and not any campaign treasury, told the Wall Streeters that nobody knew better than them how their business should be allowed or regulated.

Bernie owes nothing to big money, and enjoys telling big money that fact. Telling them indirectly, at his massively popular rallies among the rest of us, because he refuses to take money to address big money players in cozy private conclaves.

With the people as his contributors Bernie promises nothing and owes nothing to anyone but the people. Consequent differences exist in policy thought, Bernie vs. Biden and Buttigeig. Bernie wants not to rock boats, but to rock yachts. Bless Bernie. Bless Warren. Each offers a needed and treasured political option to business as usual.

____________UPDATE____________
I wonder if others awaiting the chance to vote Trump out and Bernie in feel like the little children on the long auto trip, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" We have to wait too long to get there, and despite "undecided" poll numbers, almost everyone now really should know who they favor and will be voting for. Here, Bernie in the primary, and whichever of the two, Bernie and Liz, gets the party nomination. If it is neither of the two, the Democrats will be buying four more Trump years rather than seeing the other option of a populist progressive being president. If the Democratic Party inner operatives prefer four more Trump years over change, they march like dinosaurs to extinction - political extinction being irrelevance without lobbying options after public service because the old ways will not cozily influence good new people.

__________FURTHER UPDATE___________
Readers might wish to try this experiment, and to then contemplate implications of the result:

Compare the healthcare policy positions of Buttigieg and Biden and this industry-backed propaganda outlet:

captured from: https://americashealthcarefuture.org/

That propaganda mill's working membership and funding members all have huge stakes in protecting their profitable status quo against single payer reform.

That report listing the players shows who is in mortal fear of Bernie and the common sense he is offering against the less than reasonable status quo. They will spend a lot to try sidetracking Bernie and Warren, each of whom proposes a version of transition to single payer on a short time frame [movement within a first four-year term]. Bernie would act quicker and more forcefully, but the two share an ultimate aim fully against the pecuniary interests of the entire array of status quo drum beaters - politicians, passive investors chasing yield, [or both, e.g., Sen. Tina and Archie Smith]; as well as bankers and industry insiders not wanting their wealth shared under anyone's share-the-wealth politics.

From this past February, more on the med. industry propaganda mill.
