    I know this isn't the point of your post but fuck Bernie for his atrocious cowardice on Palestine

      Yeah, it fits though. Bernie ought to be calling for a pardon

        that would be awesome. heighten the contradictions, make all the ghoul publications denounce him, get a massive popularity boost. unfortunately he's just not a very good politician

        Trump could. But since FoxNews is crying and shaking (as usual) he wont. But yeah Bernie or any other big healthcare for all person would be wise to use the stage now.

        How would a pardon even work here? Murder is a state offense, I don't know what the gun charges would be, and crossing state lines makes everything worse.

          I don't think it would. It would be a wild power move to ask for it though.

        Bernie was too radical for the party to allow to be president, not too radical to get the popular support needed

        Bernie's loss was more about the complicated layers of anti-democratic gatekeeping around the Democratic primary and other types of election design flaws in the US than actual approval rating. If there was a ranked choice voting system with Trump, Hillary, Sanders in 2016, he easily would have won as he was the least mutually divisive candidate.

        it's the disconnect between actual public opinion, and what the media presents it as

        There's a lag so there's a couple of days where people true feeling poke through before they can lock it down and distract

        case in point look at front page of reddit for example, yesterday 80% of posts are about The Hero, today none and instead were supposed to care that trump said it's hard to make the prices of good come down
