Nope.
She was talking about how the sharks weren't really that bad and how we couldn't do anything about them anyway, so the best course was to feed them and hope they'd let a few of us swim to the mainland because we fed them and they wouldn't be so hungry.
Bernie was saying, "Let's kill the sharks."

And yet...
Hillary beat him.
Imagine that.
Bernie has one co-sponsor (so far) for his latest "single-payer" bill (Kamala Harris). Do you think he'll break double-digits this time?
Popularity means nothing if you can't win votes.
Repealing Obamacare was (nearly) universally popular with Republicans until the votes actually mattered. Then, suddenly, they couldn't pass a bill.
Funny, that.

Re: And yet...
One could argue that the playing field presented by the DNC was not a fair one.
