    Imagine had this guy been elected in 2016 and re-elected instead of Biden.

      Trump would have lost all relevancy. So much time & effort having to put up with platformed conspiracy theory nonsense. We wouldn’t be fighting for basic civil rights. It’s honesty depressing thinking about what could have been. I’ll never forgive HRC and the DNC for kneecapping Bernie

        While I would hope that’s the case, I firmly believe the GOP / russia would have doubled down on the misinformation that was already all over the place, and the ignorant on facebook and other social media still would have eaten that shit up. I think in the voters that mattered Bernie would have made a much bigger impression, and the policies he worked to pass would have been much more beneficial, but I don’t think it would have been this magic situation where all the dumb people disappeared and the rich people stopped trying to get the dumb people to vote make them richer

      I joined the Democratic party in 2016 just so that I could vote for Bernie in the primaries. Oh well.
