    Imagine the past two years but everything's being blamed on Socialism instead of Sleepy Joe.

    Not just by the people who blame everything on Socialism, but by every single corporate media outlet, every single blue checkmark, every single retired General and Admiral, every single professional ghoul. The established Libs and Cons would unite and rally under the "Fuck Bernie Sanders and Fuck Socialism."

    The pandemic? Inflation? Russia's invasion of Ukraine? The housing market? Global warming in its entirety? ENTIRELY BERNIE SANDERS AND HIS SOCIALIST NONSENSE TO BLAME.

    Obama would host speeches where he reassures "our Republican brothers and sisters" that this is a temporary hiccup in the Democratic Party's modus operandai, and they will correct course to ... giving the Republicans 90% of everything they want ... as soon as Sanders and his pack of embarrassing radicals are primaried out in 2024.

      Fuck, I wish I could send all this information back to myself in March 2020 so I wouldn't have shed tears over Bernie's loss. Thinking about about everything that's happened has made me happy he lost and didn't go on to inherit all of that.

        Honestly, Bernie being super popular and then losing might be the best case scenario

        YEAH. Right about now we would have been deep in "socialism is when empty shelves" in a serious way. Could have been really fucking bad for us

        Yeah I've come to a similar conclusion about Corbyn in '19, even if by some miracle he'd pulled it off he'd become PM right before Covid and you'd have every single mainstream news source in the UK pushing anti mask shit and calling lockdowns "Stalinist" or some bs.
