If Bernie Sanders had gotten the nomination in 2016..

[jaydawg08]

Do you think he would have won against Trump in 2016?

and does this entire timeline change drastically where far right wingers don’t have such a loud voice in this country?

Or do you think it wouldn’t have mattered cause Trump would have won regardless and we were bound to get this pendulum swing post Obama

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yes, people hated Hillary. I hated the way she used the DNC to kneecap anyone else who wanted to run in 2016. Hillary ran a bad campaign

Kamala was just a bad candidate

 

[southpawstyle]

Yes. If you watched all the primaries leading up to the nomination you know.

Bernie woulda gotten cooked.

All that progressive agenda with giving away shyt would have not have flown with moderates or conservatives.

It’s a cool talking point of what coulda been for the younger generation.

All that progressive ish wouldn’t fly.

 

[Pressure]

He couldn’t beat Hillary nor Biden.

Maybe he should worry about that.

This shyt like saying Lamar or Allen would be Super Bowl champions but they can’t even get to the big game.

 

[the cac mamba]

no, in hindsight it should have been biden. if biden beat trump in 2020, then a sharper biden beats the fukk outta trump in 2016

remember when the "grab them by the p*ssy" tapes dropped? i remember republicans really having to struggle, and saying "well, even though this guy is human garbage, hillary is the anti christ, and we just can't have that". and that worked on hillary, but it wouldn't have worked on biden. he would have cleaned up

as far as bernie, i actually do see him losing. he would have been portrayed as a communist, and trump's "i'm a businessman" shyt would have beaten him. but again, biden was too moderate for that "socialist" shyt to work on him

This is true, from the elders. They hated the progressive talk. Ultimately, if Bernie won the dem party but lost to Trump, I feel they would have been in a better place than now. People would’ve been more open to progressive thought once they saw the way Trump handled his presidency, which as we all know during his first term was a failure. Bernie to me would have been the sacrifice needed.

Idk if he woulda won. But the Latino vote was big with him and wouldn’t have defected to Trump especially in Florida.

Kneecapping Bernie is also a big reason why a lot of young male voters bounced. Two demographics that democrats shytted on that came back to hurt them.

 

[feelosofer]

No and this is coming from someone who is a fan of Bernie and voted for him multiple times and for his downline locally (Larry Ham.who is also pro reparations).

Bernie's team was terrible at marketing themselves to who it matters. The kids (understandably) love him but they didn't vote for him either time like that.

Bernie is really an idea guy at heart (great ideas) but still.

 

[Richard Glidewell]

He majority of white people voted for Trump because of pure unfettered racism........classism does not supercede racism for white folks........they don't give a fukk they will crash out HARD for racism

2016: Bernie wouldn't have ignored the Midwest. His emails were pristine. He was one of the most likeable politicians around. However he did have the DNC to contend with.

2020: we know what happened.

Anyways, here we are.

 

[TripleAgent]

Maybe. He soured some Blacks with that "what is reparations?" fakkitry. Far from perfect.

 

[TRUEST]

We need to use different tactics to conduct polls. This will be the last election to embarrass the dnc.
