He's not a great politician... but he is the one most likely to have done what he would've he said and said what he would have done... and those things are what would've made independents break for him if he was the candidate. And despite the cries of misogynists or Bernie-Bros from establishment-Justice-apologists he would've also gotten the progressive base energized... something that Clinton and her business as usual failed to do based on the amount of votes democrats got for PotUS this year compared to 2012 and 2008.

Maybe he won't be the right candidate for the tone of the election in 2020 but he was for 2016 and the DNC and their fvcking apologists fvcked it up for the rest of us for 4+ years (maybe decades depending on the SCOTUS)

People in the middle who evidently responded to a white nationalist campaign aren't going to vote for a leftist. Where Obama succeeded was with the Clintons' centrist approach, and Bill's political charisma.

Sander's key demo was the youths, and it's not easy to get them to turn out.

Bernie would not have lost the rust belt. He would have had a more enthusiastic vote among even millennials.

Whatever sanders was promising Trump was promising 10x more plus endless racial resentment. Consider the fact that the only reason the rust belt isn't a wasteland was the auto bailouts the democrats implemented, and it's pretty easy to see the overwhelming appeal of the latter.

You are really a piece of work. In 5 months here, you have almost 4 thousand posts. Do you do anything else, or is shilling for the party your full time job?

I suspect you live off of government subsistence and are probably living in a domicile that is not your own. Do you wipe your ass with your own toilet paper, or someone else's?

Always amusing when someone with order of magnitude more posts and similar magnitude slower mind to write them make such accusations.
