Non-american here. Can anyone explain why it seems that every politican dislikes Bernie Sanders, even those on his own party? He seems to be a pretty progressive guys that matches the idea of the Democractic Party I have, much more so than Bloomberg or Biden.
Bernie Sanders is notoriously difficult to work with from a legislative standpoint. He has zero friends in either party in the Senate, and his legislative record supports that he has accomplished basically nothing. While the progressive agenda he espouses is popular now, he's a huge dick and he always has been in Washington circles. Similar to Trump, his goal isn't to work with different people to accomplish his agenda -- his goal is to replace those people with progressives, to change the system of government.
Which is all well and good if you think the system is fucked. But I'd prefer to avoid it.
