Bernie Sanders was always right about the Democratic Party. https://image.nostr.build/0e77b0edc5127c6e2444565001e82bf1f1e89b22d6f203968d9680682a3bc1b3.jpg

I think if Bernie had won the Democratic nomination for the 2016 election, the dynamics of that time were such that he would have won, and Trump would have lost. The Dems only lost 2016 because Hillary was such a terrible candidate.
I totally agree with you. People have very short memories and forget about the political dynamics of that time. Had Bernie been the Democratic nominee, I believe he would have won 2016.
FYI, I'm unable zap you.

Healthcare as a human right doesn’t mean enslavement of doctors. It means that no one should be deprived of basic care if they can’t afford it. The problem of course is that someone has to pay for it. If preventative care is accessible, people get less sick and don’t need to go to the emergency room for basic medical needs, which goes unpaid and drives up hospital costs for everyone else. So we either agree as a country to spread the risk around with a giant insurance pool, like we already do with Medicare, or we spread the cost of emergency care around, which is the more expensive and less efficient option.
I think you're largely correct. There ws a lot of party pressure to sandbag Bernie's campaign. He had a lot of support and momentum at the grassroots level, but when it came time for the party establishment to vote in the primaries, they didn't let him win. He won my state of Colorado, but you're right, they were never going to let him be the nominee.
Love him or hate him, you gotta admit Bernie is the most consistently on-message politician in contemporary politics. He's almost pathological in his adherence to his message. You can never call the man a flip flopper.
In 2016 he would have.
I think you may be forgetting the political climate, and dynamics at play in 2016. Hillary was an awful candidate, and she only lost the electoral count because of Comey's 11th hour decision to release that letter about potential new evidence related to her emails (which turned out to be a nothingburger). She won the popular vote. Had Bernie been the candidate, in that moment, I am convinced he would have exceeded her performance and secured the electoral college as well as the popular vote. He had no baggage and was liked by pretty much everyone. In that contest, he would have prevailed.
Bitcoin is definitely better than politics. 👍

Yes he’s the reason I voted for Trump and eventually said fuck all of this and led to bitcoin so I appreciate him for that

The white pill take from this election for our country should be the importance of timely, fair, and open primaries. They are messy and uncomfortable but help people feel heard, involved, and represented.
