If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

When will leftists face the fact that Bernie simply wasn't popular enough to win not one but two primaries?
Love Luigi, (may he live forever), but this delusion around Bernie is hilarious.
Leaving aside the issue of whether or not he legitimately lost those primaries (which is certainly debatable at least in 2016), I think he would have not been a very effective president because both parties in congress and the judiciary would have done everything in their power to oppose any social welfare policies he might have tried to get implemented.
Obviously, he would have been better than Trump, but I do not think he would have achieved much. In fact, I think he would have achieved less than Carter.
I agree with your point to everyone working against him. Btw I love Bernie and voted for him both times. But I'm just tired of leftists shooting themselves (and all of the rest of us) in the foot by spreading anti-Democrat propaganda during and between every election and being all shocked Pikachu when literal billionaires take over the government as a result.
It's usually privileged white leftists who think their political puritanism is justified.
