It's disconcerting that someone elected to represent me doesn't see that.
He's a wealthy career politician in his 80's I'd be surprised if he wasn't out of touch with the vast majority of the population. I certainly didn't vote for him in the Democratic primaries, but he's much better than the alternative.
I don't disagree that he's better than the alternative, but at a certain point, the government ceases to help anyone but its donors. We may be at that point.
"Wealthy career politician" is a group that does not really represent anyone, so ideally it shouldn't exist.
I don't disagree with you either, but I'm not sure what to do about it other than to continue to vote for people that I do think will represent me and then vote for the least shitty choice after none of those people make it past the primaries.
Yeah, that's the only option I think. Which is to say: we don't really have a democracy anymore.

But HE'S BEEN IN WASHINGTON SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY FUCKING FOUR.
He has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who he respresents.
Bernie isn't out of touch. We tried.
Unfortunately in my eyes he is the only good option. It really sucks, but that is the world were living in
