I know all of this has been said before, but fuck it:

At the end of the day, he just didn't have it in him to go as hard against the establishment Dems as he needed to.

I think the propaganda got to him and he genuinely believes it was his fault that Trump won in 2016 and desperately doesn't want to be blamed again (Even tho he totally will be no matter what he says or does).

What we ideally need is basically a leftist version of Trump (As in not prejudiced, but with the same shameless, boisterous, don't-give-a-fuck attitude).

      I was genuinely surprised when he lost. I thought that one was in the bag.

          This is a great point, but it's one that confuses me. Why don't people maintain their principles even when they're old? Or is that generation gonna die and leave behind a bunch of pissed off leftist millenials and zoomers? If that's the case, maybe we should just....wait it out? I mean I'm being a little hyperbolic- we can't abandon our communities and comrades to the wolves for ten years or however long it takes - but you get what I mean.

      It's a difficult way to move because a lot of the popularity of these two figures was explicitly because of the compassion they held for basically everyone.
