Yeah, no. He has a legitimate history as a political activist going back to the Civil Rights movement. As flawed as he is, it’s deeply dishonest to call him a mere puppet.
Yeah those commenters above you are insane to think he wouldn’t have won if the Dems fully backed him lol. We probably could have pulled some conservatives because his policies are so universally loved.
I’m one of those commenters and here’s why I disagree: Americans tend to vote against their own interests. His policies are popular in isolation, but outside of a subset of the predominantly young, male, white college-educated demographic, he has never been able to associate himself with these policies and capture the rest of the public, especially those who actually vote.
America when it turns out to vote always goes dem and very liberal. Over the last 30 years republicans only have won from either poor voter turnout or legally questionable actions, specifically Roger Stone getting bush elected in 2000 but also the constant attack on voting rights especially in liberal cities. Musk literally offered to pay people to vote in PA which is extremely illegal.
America always votes in its interest, Trump only got slightly more than 30% of America supporting him in the polls, that’s abysmal. Most people don’t vote because they are disenfranchised by a system that continues to disenfranchise them.
Bernie’s hype was because he seemed to be one of the few to actually wanna help those people, his entire platform was grassroots. He was literally kneecapped by the DNC in favor of an extremely unlikable neolib.
Your take is pretty bad. Bernie would’ve absolutely beaten Trump.

That’s so nonsense and not true lol
