Is Bidens campaign dead? (EDIT: Well, this was turned around completely.)

I’m from Canada and I understand a system that’s capitalist with socialist social services. That said Europe is by and large economically stagnated (the northern countries anyway). Don’t think Americans are really to get skyrocketed tax rates to pay for these initiatives. Cause it won’t just be the rich paying. Point being, Bernie had 2 tries and failed both times. There is a reason for this. His ideas are good on paper but the follow through has a lot of potential for disaster in implementation. 

Btw I don’t like trump, but from what I hear the economy is overall improved since he became president. Comment on that?

The economy is great for the rich and wealthy. For most people though, their wages haven't increased by more than 1%. That's how the US has been for decades now. The economy looks good because the rich are getting so much richer while the poor and working class are the same or poorer when accounting for inflation.

Also Bernie didn't lose because people don't support his ideas. His policies are still widely favoured looking at exit polls. It's this mythical"electibility" argument that he lost. 

The unemployment percentage went down. Working class or not that’s an improvement over welfare. 

Bernies polls also showed he was going to win as well. If the problem was his electability then he is a glutton for punishment trying twice. Definition of insanity comes to mind.
