The anti-Bernie rhetoric is #8 on the “Ur-DNC list of characteristics”, where the alternative candidates are cast as both too strong and too weak; having enough support to tank the election, but also so little support as to be safely ignored.
Bernie has never had and still has no chance outside of the aforementioned young white male demographic. He’s doing a decent job as a senator, but he won’t ever be presidential material.
First off, no one is pushing for Bernie to run now. He’s too old, just like Biden.
Secondly, why should anyone take this position seriously when the very person who was predicted to be “who Democrats actually want” lost to Trump in an election where they got fewer votes than Obama did in either election, despite there being MORE registered Democrats?
Your opinions on who is strong or weak as a candidate are just that.
The only provable point here is that progressive voters were ignored or even actively spurned by the DNC’s aggressively anti-progressive candidates, and that put Trump in power.
