    Bernie is what we in Europe would call in the 1980s a social democrat. Definitely the sort of politician you’d like to have if you’re trying to keep the fabric of your society in one piece.

    With hate high on the menu these days, I’m pretty sure that when given a real chance in 2015, he would have beaten Donold.

      It was very clear that the DNC conspired against Bernie to manipulate the primaries and coordinate a narrative through corporate media that downplayed his success and elevated Clinton.

          Whether they’re better or worse is irrelevant; in terms of cause and effect Democratic incompetence is the cause and fascism in America is the effect. See also:

        Bernie was and is still endorsing them, though he prefers the incumbents drop the title and run as independents, you should listen to Bernie Sanders imo.
