There were a LOT of 2016 Bernie voters that swung *hard* to Trump after the primaries ended. Also, iirc, Bernie was the one candidate Trump was quoted to not want to run against.

Those poll results are inaccurate, possibly because the respondents weren’t an accurate look at the voters who really matter in a presidential election. If a man who calls himself “socialist” had gotten into the nationwide election he would’ve been obliterated.

Bernie would lost in a landslide. Primary polls =/= general election polls. He couldnt even win the black vote.

We’d be discussing how we could give Bernie a 3rd term at this point

Watching the Democratic base turn into hardcore Lefties is pretty euphoric. Lefties (Progressives) are the ones fighting and standing up.
The normies Dems now see the frauds of the Neoliberal DNC leadership. Everybody hate them some Jeffries and Chuckies. Even Conservative Columnist Bill Kristol has said the abolish ICE; Nicole Wallace (John McCain Campaign Co-Chair) has turned into a Lefty resistance Dem.
But if he was that much more popular why didn’t he win the primary?

You’re admitting that Bernie Bros failed to vote for Hillary or voted for Trump? Yeah, you sure showed us, dickhead.

I love Bernie. I voted for Bernie. Bernie won Michigan. The DNC is the reason we are where we are. They forced two impossible candidates on us. I VOTED FOR BOTH OF THEM…Big mistake. HUGE!

I still dont understand why the DNC choose Hillary over Bernie, dude was killing Trump in the polls.

This whole “dnc rigged the primary” storyline annoys the shit out of me. Bernie lost because young people didn’t come vote in the primaries and his base of support was overwhelmingly voters under 40. He lost because his base was apathetic.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve wondered about these points in time that I’ve witnessed, inflection points, where something had gone the other way we’d be living in such a different timeline. One that always springs to mind is Gore conceding to Bush in 2000 rather than fighting it in the courts.

Was Bernie or Hillary being investigated by the FBI at the time, I can’t remember.

Yeah, DNC shat the bed and forced Hilary. I believe Trump legit won agains her. DNC will always shit the bed, Israel demands it

The Bernie bros have got to give it a fucking rest already. He would have lost in a massive landslide and Trump would have enacted Project 2025 in 2017. Republicans would have a super majority in both houses of Congress and we wouldn’t see a Democrat in the White House for a long time because of the stain Sanders would have left on the party as the nominee.

If that were true maybe you should have voted in the primary. She has over three million more votes in the primary than he did.

Remember how they kept Elizabeth Warren in the race to split the leftist vote but all of the moderate liberals dropped out to make sure Hillary beat Bernie? Yeah I definitely do. I voted for Hillary for harm reduction but the dems worked hard to rig the primary. Bernie would have appealed to so many of the frustrated voters who went to Trump just looking for something to shake up the status quo.

OP is a MAGA that pretends to support Bernie as an excuse to attack Democrats

I can’t believe we are still talking about the 2016 Primary an entire decade later. Maybe Bernie would have won but at the end of the day he couldn’t win over Democrat voters. And ultimately the people most reasonable for the Trump presidency are the people who voted for him, not the die hard Hillary Clinton voters.

Why are they using a 30 year old photo of Trump?

Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. Dems don’t win with a boring ticket the old fucks in charge can’t learn this simple fact

Totally voted Trump to not vote Hilary. Would’ve voted Bernie 10000%

I’ve had enough of the Bernie what-ifs, he leeched off the Democratic Party while still maintaining his Independent status
