the limit of the american voter's hope, is that some kind politician will sling a few bucks in his or her direction. this is not 'left' politics, it is submission politics. right-wing politicians do it too, it's cheaper than patrolling the streets with tanks.
real left politics is shifting power into the hands of the people, typically by establishing democracy. democracy is the left, all else is various forms of elitism.
politicians will never give you democracy, it has to be taken, usually with some measure of force.
not enough citizen quality people in usa, so democracy will not come. but you can content yourself with hoping for a fairy god-mother in politician guise, obama played that role very well, walking on water while leaving no footprints.
somehow bernie and obama seem different, probably because bernie has been slogging while obama danced . bernie is too good for the usa, although that's a low bar- a nation that elects trump when there was a least one other candidate is in dire straits. just think how contemptible you have to be, to lose to such a person.
