in response to being asked, 'who is to blame for the world the way it is now"

even though I think I know where you are trying to go with that question, I still am startled of your choice of wording of "who" mostly bc I do find 'blame' questions kind of funny bc there are always so so so MANY more factors involved that often don't get taken into account in those kinds of questions of "who", .... but also because one cannnot blame any one single person for that. .............Bernie certainly wasn't responsible for people losing jobs, but, BUT, now that the corona virus triggered a chain reaction of events that has led to a job loss situation, a situation that ended up happen a lot earlier then it was supposed to happen (ie, you do know that this job loss situation IS going to be happening again on a much more massive scale though probably at a slower rate (i hope) bc of the advances of technology and AI systems taking over peoples jobs faster then new ones can get created), but anyways going back to my point, ...........my POINT is, now that it has happened, Bernie has been fighting pretty dam hard to fight the current broken system in order to TRY to make sure people don't completely starve during the crisis. ............ Not sure if you knew this, but he has not asked for a single dime for his campaign anymore and has asked the people following him that if they can help out, not to help him, but to help those, instead, those who got caught unawares and unprepared with holding over until they can get back on their feet. ..... He has even stopped working on his campaign (even though he is still running so that people can have a person to vote for that cares more about them being able to fend for themselves, rather then be dependent on corporations (or the gov longterm), and he now spends all his energy in trying to make sure that people do not starve now that everything has happened. .................. But even before this all happened, for decades, he has been fighting the system to try to help people to be able to have less to worry about so that they COULD try to become more independent and less dependent on the government! LONG TERM .......... Bernie was the only candidate pushing for more localized food co-ops,, instead of people being dependent on the corporate chain food stores! ...... and for farmers to practice more regenerative farming practices like we like to promote in Permaculture, so that the lands were better able to sustain communities, ........and most especially even more so, doing what he could and can to try to push for it being legal everywehre for people to be able to farm their own urban places (bc sadly, there are many cities where it isn't legal.) ........ It is what his Green New Deal is all about- of giving back power to the people - to be able to sustain themselves, especially in situations like this, so that they wouldn't have to be dependent on corporations OR the government, .....so I would have thought you would have been supporting that since that also seems to be your goal of wanting people to be able to take care of themselves. ............. But, he is also aware that until before the mass numbers of people can learn to do all that, they need to be able to survive, esp, the next few months, and NOT starve to death in the meantime, ...................so that is why he has been fighting so hard against the current government, ..........that if the gov is going to set it up so that jobs get taken away, then in the meantime, at least provide a way for them to survive until they are able to legally work again. and then be able to provide for themselves again LONGTERM, ....... and to stop being dependent and at the mercy of corporations that go against the philosophy of people care, earth care ,OR future care. .........He, Bernie, is the closest candidate that has been advocating and trying to find ways for the independent entrepeneuneur to be able to succeed against those massive corporations LongTerm!.. ..........longterm wanting to make it easier for the individual people and independent entrepreneurs to be able to have a fighting change........ for the small mom and pop stores that DO still care about their local communities and will care more about people care, earth care and future care
