    Welcome to super liberal Reddit where the facts don’t matter and Bernie is still in the running.

      I truly don’t understand the Bernie thing. I campaigned for him. He straight up lost. All the fuckers screaming about the Democrats not putting up better candidates didn’t show up to vote. It’s not some grand conspiracy against progressives. We don’t show up and then complain when we aren’t represented.

        I like Bernie, but I would never vote for him simply because the razor-thin margins that Democrats need to win make any other choice unrealistic. There simply isn’t enough room for a third candidate when the Republicans keep promoting fascist nutters. Luckily, Biden has proven more progressive than anyone anticipated, so you kind of got a win in the end.
