    Trumps weird appeal to folks that “just want to shake up the system” idiots would have been neutralized by third party Bernie, hardcore leftists that would have never vote for a neoliberal would jump at the chance to vote for him, that popularity and “across the aisle” appeal like that could bring in a bunch of centrists and those who don’t usually vote because “both sides”. He’d certainly have had a really good chance, he’ll even my conservative ass dad thinks Bernie is worth some respect because of how long he’s been doing it and saying the same thing

      Yeah, it’s that “how long” that gets me. I think he’s still a great person that genuinely tries to do the right thing for everyone, but he’s old (he’s older than Biden). As far as I’m concerned, he’s served his country well. He should not be on the front lines fighting Zionism and American Fundamentalism anymore.
