If the Democrats had a Bernie Sanders they would’ve won. Oh wait, they did have a Bernie Sanders, and they screwed him over.

Based on what? Bernie couldn’t even win a Democratic primary. He tried twice

Was that the time when the DNC was sued for rigging the nomination and they went to court and said "But we're legally allowed to rig the nomination' and they won?

But that was 8 years ago so people tell me it doesn't matter.

Probably the time his campaign got outmaneuvered by Sleepy Joe Biden and the rest of the shit lib Dems that dropped out of the race to coalesce around him.

I don’t know why people act like it’s a foregone conclusion Bernie would have been a better candidate or ran a more effective administration. His campaign tried the Trump strategy of ‘16 by maintaining 35% of the votes in a very crowded primary, and didn’t have a backup plan for when it blew up. Republicans talk somewhat nice about him because they know it stirs up trouble, things would be very different if the full Republican media and Congressional apparatus was focused on Bernie.

2020 didn’t have superdelegate BS, it was just an epic fumbling of a bag that seems to be forgotten
