The really funny thing is that Bernie Sanders' supporters have the exact same goal in mind.

Why would that be funny? America broke the Soviet Union with economic power. A lot of people still remember this.

I'd like to see the Chinese equivalent of the Berlin Wall falling.

I think it's funny because the entrenched establishment politicians like Steve Bannon are also the ones most opposed to Sanders and his allies.

It's not a surprise that a decent number of Bernie voters voted for Trump instead of Hillary. At least I saw a lot of highly upvoted comments on Reddit from people saying they were going to do that after Bernie lost.
