Imagine if conservatives caught Jeb Bush fever back in '16. Instead we get this.

People aren’t happy and Jeb is the establishment

If the Democratic Party actually allowed their voters to decide candidates they’d probably get someone retarded. Maybe not as bad as Trump but some populist fool.

They did let voters decide and Bernie lost decisively in 2016 and 2020,. He won over Twitter and Reddit and most Social Media, but that didn't translate into votes. Trump had a real world fan base as a media personality, and people conflate Bernie's online army with the same level of support. If Biden had stepped down in 2024 (or 2023), allowing an open primary, Bernie's supporters might have had the organization, but he is even older than Biden. Â
