    Not true. Bernie Sanders was wildly popular before the DNC removed him for not being centrist/right wing enough. He would have won easily. People want a progressive candidate, not a centrist.

    I’m more and more sure you’re just a bot or an intern for some pedo bootlicker the more I see your comments. Take your trash somewhere else

      Bernie Sanders might have won the Democratic primary, but he would lost to Trump. Sanders is too far left for most Americans.

        You seem to be weirdly disconnected from the reality of voters and it feels like you’re trying to subtly discourage anything that would be better from the current state of things.

        Bernie was popular with voters in general. He would have won the primary and then the presidency if he had the chance to. People voted Trump because he promised change and Hillary just promised more of the same. People were hungry for change at (apparently) any cost and got fucked when Trump was the only option.

          You mean Harris promised the same thing. At any rate, Trump won because he promised tighter border security and lower inflation. Hitler won because the Democratic Weimar Republic couldn’t control inflation. Trump like Hitler is also a great speaker. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mnBRZNAA_0

          Andy Beshear would have been a better Democratic Presidential nominee. Bernie Sanders would not have done well in red states.

            No, I don’t mean Harris promised the same thing, considering Sanders was nowhere near the running when Harris was. Trump won his second term not because his promises, he won because he cheated (and then publicly admitted as much.)

            You either have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about or even what’s going on, or you’re just a shill trying to make it seem like nobody wanted progressive candidates. I’m done arguing with a bot
