President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D-N.Y.) were the only national politicians to receive net positive favorability ratings in a new poll.
It really is amazing that a self-professed socialist who lost two presidential primaries in a row is perhaps the most popular and respected politician in America. Say what you will, he is a very skilled politician and also very down to earth. I still wonder what his secret is.
That, and he has been consistent for basically his entire political career. At least, he’s not flip flopping like Dems usually do with issues. There’s some good YouTube videos of him in Congress from the 90s going against the popular opinion.
I think it's fair to say that he fell through the cracks. The system does everything it can to either absorb or exclude those who enter it, but somehow he managed to dodge all that and remain basically the same guy he was when he started out.
I think the fact that he fought so hard for Vermont unions is a huge factor. They still have pretty strong unions up there compared to a lot of places and the goodwill he built with them hasn't faded.
You're absolutely right lol at the people getting triggered by this comment almost as if nobody cares to remember the actual events of the two primaries and the classic all time hits like "my friend Joe Biden" or endorsing Hillary, or being a neoliberal imperialist on debate stage(saying shit about Cuba and China) or best of all conceding and supporting rapist Joe Biden instead of actually fighting him from the left.
So many people here seemingly still haven't grown up past Bernie, give it time.

Proposing policies that will improve everyone's life without coming across as radical.
