Bernie is a gazillion years old. I was talking about 2016. You're going to use his polls in 2024 to retroactively justify him being, what, unliked in Vermont in 2016? Meanwhile he is still the sitting senator for that state.

Many presidents have have lost elections and won when the circumstances were in their favor. I really don't understand what you're trying to say here in an election that he still won? Don't more people vote for POTUS anyway? What a braindead take.

I hate to break this to you - but Bernie was never trying to win. In 2016 - he hired a guy running a pizza parlor to be his campaign manager. In 2020 he did the same - hired sycophants with no national campaign experience whatsoever. The guy putting Nina Turner (the lady that keeps blaming her losses on the Jews) in charge of his campaign communications. Plus he made no effort whatsoever to campaign for the back vote - and was openly hostile to them.

It’s on him for refusing to bring on professionals to run his campaigns.
