    If they wouldn’t let bernie run we would’ve avoided trump all together

    Wishful thinking, the internet is not everyone. I’d love it if he’d ran, but there’s no way to know if he’d have performed better, and people turned out for his opponent in the primaries.

      Yeah hindsight is always 20/20 and maybe trump still would’ve won but I do think there was a strong chance he could’ve won with all the grassroots canvassing and a track record of standing up for civil liberties.

      Both parties serve the same master, it’s just a different version of “good cop, bad cop”.

        They really don’t. Bernie is the good cop, Harris is the mildly conservative but would still run a precinct cop, trump is like literally letting the mob boss take over the police station.

        I mean I would much, much rather be locked in a room with someone playing the good cop role.

      Bingo. Bernie lost the popular vote in both primaries. Not sure why it’s so hard for people to accept this.

      I like Bernie. I’d vote for him for president. But my wishes aren’t reality. He wasn’t popular on a scale necessary to win.
