Also I went on /r/DirtyPenPals to see if there was any stress about the election there, but no, those folks just keep on being horny and kinky without a care for our dumb problems, and I envy them.

      Not really, they're just kind of saying Bernie would have done worse, and blaming, like American stupidity generally. When you point out Biden's shitty strategy they just sort of weakly say not to point fingers.

        Bernie unironically would have done better. He had a message and energy that wasn't just "yeah he sucks, but Trump...". And half of republicans think Biden is a communist anyway, so that line of attack wouldn't impact anything anyway

          Bernie would have definitely lost Florida, but probably been able to win the Midwest on election night.

          And do a lot better with non-Cuban Latinos.

          I think the media and DNC would have tried to sink his campaign though.

            Yeah the only thing that makes me think Bernie would not have won is the Corbyn-level sabotage that would have come from within.

          Yo, Bernie had the fucking southern Latinos in the fucking bag. Those numbers could have swung Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina. Along with Ohio. Biden offered nothing for these people any got nothing in return.

            Corbyn is really a bad example to compare Sanders to. He got control of Labour and then did nothing about the Blairites. He could've purged them from the party and started changing things. By him sitting idle, it allowed them to constantly attack him and destroy his character.

            The DNC was never going to allow Sanders to get the nomination and if they did, we would've seen then move to the GOP in hopes of stopping him, more similar to what happened to McGovern.

              Bernie would have done the same thing as Corbyn did if he had won the nomination and somehow managed to win the presidency. Lots of people don't know Bernie's history pre 2016 as most people had never heard of him before then but he has cowtailed to the Democratic Party establishment since at least 1993. I say this as someone who donated and voted for him twice. But the Bernie from the 80s died a long time ago.

      r/Enough_Sanders_Spam:

      Gotta get rid of the bernie wing. I hate to say it but racial wokeness doesn't work with Hispanic voters, esp with rioting. Basically gotta go back to 90s politics.

      Keep the super woke shit within LA and NY. Honestly that mindset went crazy after Trump won because we thought we had to go to the absolute opposite of Trump to win. But turns out, most of the country wants boring typical moderate politician.

      we picked that politician, but Trump was able to successfully run against AOC and the Squad.

        Could it be that the candidate put forth was bad?

        No, it is these people who aren't running for President that are bad.
