Biden won on a margin not much larger than Hillary lost by. And after having the most generous media coverage since Reagan won in '84.
Bernie would have been demolished, in no small part because Pete Buttigieg decided to run third party and spend three months exclusively trashing Bernie in swing states.
Whatever happened to "running people with bold policy wins elections and attracts nonvoters, Democrats lose (or barely win) because they run centrists), the media shitting on Bernie would only embolden his base because it actually plays directly into what people find appealing to him, he polled well in the states that matter, moderates barely exist and aren't worth appealing to, ect ect ect." Are we dropping that? Is this because Corbyn lost?
Corbyn getting dragged through the mud is a great example of what a media out to get you can do.
Bernie's politics are solid, but his rhetoric isn't unique, as Warren illustrated. If he won the primary, there would be a high profile Third Way challenger. The liberal vote would be split and Trump would win with his horde of pilled loyalists - of which the general demonstrated an ample surplus.
