Sure, but Bernie isn't going to be President for more than a year or two.

He is. It's some of his supporters who are complaining about the results.

Interestingly, I went to the url at the bottom of your graph: tinyurl.com/r2ns2za
It shows these results:
Sanders Buttigieg Current IDP SDE results 562.497 564.012 1.515 Pete Lead Adjustments from Errors 2.615 -1.816 +4.431 Bernie gain Adjusted Caucus Results 565.112 562.196 2.916 Bernie Lead
If true, that's pretty messed up. It shows sources, but I don't know how to validate them. It was clearly true they messed up after the first round was over though...

When Russia purchases Facebook ads to influence our election it requires sanctions, multiple congressional investigations, and wall to wall media coverage.
When the Democratic Party is openly trying to kneecap it’s own frontrunner: pipe down you sycophants, don’t be so conspiratorial.

His victory will embolden all Democrats. Pandering to the public will mean supporting wealth redistribution efforts, including raising corporate/high-income taxes.
Trump doesn’t have the power to reverse 50 years of progress on environmental protection, but Republicans pushed it through anyway🤷🏻♂️ Same with the wall funding - they all laughed at the idea when Trump said “build the wall” on the election trail, but once they realized his base supports it, it started being a good idea.
Yet, there's no wall like Trump promised.

It’s being funded and even built though. Do you really think Republicans want to spend that money? They kinda have to pretend for their own careers.
The idea that a wall can help anyone has been normalized among Republicans. Why can’t wealth redistribution be normalized among Dems?
I’m not saying Bernie can overhaul the whole system, but he’ll have more power than just signing executive orders and vetoing shit. The presidency bears certain weight beyond the legal presidential functions.

It's a joke and isn't even close to being funded adequately.

Yet, 1. Trump promised economic tariffs to return jobs back to the US, it never happened. 2. Trump promised trillions in infrastructure investment, it never happened. 3. Trump promised immigration reform, it never happened. 4 Trump promised to stop engaging to stupid military actions around the globe, it never happened. 5. Trump promised middle class tax cuts, it never happened. 6. Trump promised a border wall, it never happened.
It appears Trump doesn't influence a dam thing.

So Trump isn't a puppet, he just governs on the potential for personal profits? What was Obama's excuse for betraying everybody?

Okay, you deff have a valid point that presidents tend to fail to deliver their biggest promises. But they don’t fail to steer policy. If Obama’s moderate ass can get us the ACA, Bernie can get us single payer. And if Trump can cut taxes for the rich, Bernie should pull off a way bigger tax hike.
He’s simply better at navigating politics. Also, being a dinosaur, he wants to secure a legacy and knows this is his last shot. He won’t compromise because he knows history doesn’t remember those who compromise on their principles.

Hmm, ACA is a corporate written piece of health care legislation that benefits health care companies.
Bernie will NEVER be allowed to hike taxes on the wealthy, not gonna happen.
