I'm afraid for the future of the USA because I see it clearly that the "weak" and lowest common denominator are taking over. It is more about being equal than winning and being your personal best. Bernie Sanders pushes this very scary to me "equality". This kind of mentality is going to be very bad for the future.
The entitlement mentality is just starting to hit. Bernie Sanders pushes this mentality and makes it his platform. I don't see it getting better from here. But I can hope.

i don't disagree. any choice has its pluses and minuses, potential risks and rewards.
but one thing i really like about Sanders (not mentioned in the OP), is his goals of reducing government. for me, that's a good thing to balance the socialist programs we have. let's not forget, we have quite a large social benefits situation here already.
