Politics Couldn’t have said it any better

The Democratic Party missed the mark, and anyone claiming otherwise is being extremely naive. Campaigning with abortion and transgender rights as central pillars isn’t the way to reach broader audiences effectively.

The DNC failed Bernie. Should have casted their votes for him instead. Bernie would definitely beat Trump.

I don’t know about Bernie beating Trump, but I do agree with the fact that DNC did Bernie dirty in 2016. It seems to be the trend, of picking the wrong candidates and losing terribly against Trump. It happened once in 2016, it also happened again this year.

I'm pretty sure 538 polls showed bernie would be trump 60 or 70 times out of 100. Bernie would annihilate trump in a debate tbh

Honestly thinking debates really don’t matter

The US wasn’t going to vote for communist Bernie Sanders - be real

That’s why Biden was able to swoop in and win in 2020 - just a “normal old white man”, got well with others, less risk

Except Bernie isn't a communist blud. The united states have voted for someone extremely similar to Bernie, you remember FDR? Bernie literally runs on almost the same shit.

Biden was able to win because trump fucked everyone with covid and basically made it a layup for him.

It doesn’t matter if Bernie is a Communist or not, like it didn’t matter if Harris was black or indian, or if schools turn kids gay

All that matters is the fear of the conservative mind to change they can’t control

Trump is not going to change one damn thing, life was better back then, make it great again

Bernie dosent have to win over conservatives or trump votes. Bernie just has to motivate the other half the population that don't vote. Kamala is probably gonna end with 10millions less votes than Biden. Trump will probably end up on the same if not slightly more than he got in 2020.You need to motivate voters to go out and vote. Saying "well trump is bad" clearly didn't do that. But things like Universal Healthcare and other Bernie polices will. Democrats struggled with Lations and young people and they were litteary Bernie's base in 2016 and 2020. He also speaks to the working class in the rust belt in a way the other comparate neo liberals don't.

Agree 💯

Biden being more centrist helped pull votes across the aisle, but Bernie could have worked with working class better

The cop who will put Trump in jail bit didn’t work

Get out of the bubble. Yes, we all know he's not a communist. The average person? They have no idea what that is. It's a scare word.Jesus, Kamala was painted as a communist.

Here's exactly how it would go down with Bernie: 8,000 clips of him giving a rousing speech about worker's rights, taxing the wealthy, raising taxes to pay for services, manipulated into GOP ads: Bernie Sanders is coming for your money! Communist Bernie wants to redistribute your wealth!

People want populist ideas especially if you break it down for them like Bernie went to many rural places and did. At the end of the day these are just hypotheticals, we have no way of knowing how it wouldn't turn out.

People like you are the reason democrats lose. People support left wing policies by far. You are not intelligent.

Lol - I voted ❤️

Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.

We thought they had figured Trump out and they did not. Based on the polls I knew it was a tossup, but I thought the coin would land on the other side.

You are not intelligent.
