"Wine caves" is a strong meme for Current Day, both for the socialist-leaning left in earnest and their opposition in satire, because it so clearly illustrates that the perceived enemy is not necessarily power, but luxury itself.

It is a metaphor for American corruption, not an attack on fine wine. America is corrupt, and everyone knows it. Whether it is Eric Weinstein's 'gated institutions' corruption, or a more mainstream left-wing "money in politics" critique, - America is corrupt. Sorry but it is.
Making a fairly accessible, enjoyable evening into a metaphor for American corruption is not only stupid, but so harmful to the communal psyche that I will fight it tooth and nail to the end. I'm not sorry for that. Feel free to see yourself out.

The thing that's harmful to the communal psyche is the poverty, the opioid crisis, the lack of affordable medical care, the fact that our military drone program has 90% civilian death rate. That's what actually harms the communal psyche, real suffering.

Sorry Mason, but normal people don't have $900 wine in wine caves with millionaire fundrasers and not allow media inside. This is not a defence of Bernie's socialism. I don't like that. But it is an emergency warning siren that America is corrupt.

Normal people also don't run for president. This is not an unusual thing in politics or fundraising for any non-profit endeavor.
