Well, you would have been wrong then, and history didn't change by time moving forward. He lost to Hillary in counties where Hillary lost to Trump. He wasn't even as popular with Democrats, much less independents or centrist Republicans, in all of those battleground areas.
Funny because I feel the opposite. I have my disagreement with Dems but the GOP nominated an authoritarian who ran on subverting the Constitution and aboyt two months in we're already looking at a possible Constitutional crisis.
IF the lying do nothing corporate wing of the democratic party were there to serve the will of the people and backed bernie and NPR and many other mainstream news organizations had not lied and slandered and obfuscated his positions then he would have absolutely trounced trump and we would be in a better, more free country and would have restored and improved our democracy and integrity as a nation.
And it was retarded then too. If you're too radical to win a democrat primary, then you sure as hell don't have any chance in a general. There's a reason candidates act like radical nutjobs in their primary, then pivot and pretend to be moderates in the general. Turns out doubling everybody's taxes only appeals to people who don't pay them.

That’s stupid
Why don't you haul ass back to 1951 Soviet Union where you belong. Smh.
To try to equate a political party making a last minute decision on the nomination to Trump trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after losing an election is insane to me, there's absolutely no comparison there. I didn't even like Kamala at first but when I voted for Biden I voted for the Biden-Harris ticket which implies Harris takes over in case Biden can't continue, there's nothing anti-democratic about that.
So you chose to vote for an absolute disgrace of a human being in protest? I'd love to be a fly on the wall if you were to sit down with some of your musical heroes and explain this..
If it’s not you lying then it’s you being retarded. Either way not a good look
The crowds are growing....
Bernie Sanders' anti-oligarchy tour offers a sorely needed lesson for Democrats
The socialist firebrand is drawing big crowds in GOP-held districts — and wisely focusing on a message of class unity.www.msnbc.com
It’s a dark time for left-of-center Americans. The Democratic Party’s reputation is in tatters, even with its own base. Progressive activists and groups are protesting President Donald Trump’s authoritarian seizure of the federal government’s administrative operations, but their crowds lack the size and vigor of his first term.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has stepped into the void with a national “Stopping Oligarchy” tour. He’s visiting Republican-held districts in swing states and red states, and he’s drawing big and energetic crowds with little lead-up time. “He drew a crowd of 4,000 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Friday night. He faced another 2,600 or so the next morning a few hours away in Altoona, Wisconsin, a town of less than 10,000 residents,” The Associated Press reports. “And his crowd of 9,000 in suburban Detroit exceeded his own team’s expectations.”
The popularity of Sanders’ tour is an indicator that, even during a time of rock-bottom morale on the left, there remains an appetite for combative and progressive populism. And while Sanders’ speeches sound a lot like the ones he’s delivered his entire career, their enduring popularity suggest a model the Democratic Party establishment needs to emulate to pull out of its tailspin.
Sanders’ anti-oligarchy tour is a kind of return to form for the independent and democratic socialist. Between the end of his 2020 presidential campaign and Joe Biden’s departure from the White House, Sanders was absorbed into the Democratic Party establishment and served primarily as a surrogate for Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. Now he’s looking quite a lot like he did as an insurgent presidential candidate. That isn’t to say that Sanders has White House ambitions in 2028 — he’s 83 years old and says his current term is likely his last in the Senate. But he is returning to what he knows best: gravitating toward the people and stoking grassroots energy.
There are a few things Sanders is doing well that Democrats in Washington ought to pay attention to. Sanders is using the theme of oligarchy and class domination as an overarching message. “We are here to say loudly and clearly that in our great nation we will not accept oligarchy,” Sanders said to the roaring crowd in Kenosha last week. “We will not accept authoritarianism. We will not accept kleptocracy. We’re here to make it clear that we are going to fight back and we are going to win.”
