Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Bernie would have won had he not been blatantly cheated in the 2016 DNC primary. We’d be in a MUCH different timeline had he won.
Edit: Corbyn was done dirty in the UK too.
The defeatist in me wants to downvote you. The optimist in me also wants to downvote you. The currently aware bit of me reminds me that this isn’t reddit, and downvotes aren’t a thing here. The rest of me is upst because there’s a non-zero chance you’re right, and the entire world would be better off.
I find it weird that I support Bernie wholeheartedly, even though I am a Trump supporter (yeah, I can hear them coming)
How. The. Fuck. Is. That. Even. Possible.
You’re the Clayton Bixby of politics.
Because they’re both populist, if you don’t care about the policy it’s easy to like both trump (pre elected, if you still support him after, you’re either willfully ignorant or brainwashed) or Bernie
Even though he is a socialist (which I hate) I believe he genuinely cares about the issues he says he cares about, unlike almost everyone in politics right now, Bernie is honest. Donald Trump, well he gets shit done and is politically incorrect, he has the courage to say things that many politicians don’t have the courage of addressing (a similarity between both Bernie and Trump). And Bernie has not changed that much on terms of his policies, he supported gay men and women when it was unpopular (I loved this big time!), he says what he thinks about the Saudis and no one,not even trump has the courage to do this, he is a brave man in the truest sense. I love Bernie more than Trump for that reason. But yeah, both are populists, both are unlike anyone who I have ever seen, I really wish Bernie was president for at least one term, Hillary B Clinton and the Dems cheated him out of his rightful ticket. So fuck Hillary and fuck the democratic party establishment, also fuck Joe Biden too while we are at it. For someone who make a big deal out of the Jan 6 disturbance, Dems are perfectly capable of and are willing to steal elections and throw the will of the people into the dustbin.
To not make a big deal about J6 is absolutely delusional and completely a spit in the face of the democracy of the U.S. Nothing you say has an value.
It’s not unusual. The joke is the political spectrum is a circle. You go far enough to the left - you meet the far right.
In the end both Bernie and Trump are populists (in both senses: offering solutions that people want and proposing simplified solutions that are unrealistic)
During Covid in Germany the anti vaccine protest coalition was made up of fascists and hippies.
Please educate me. What populist opinion does Bernie hold that is unrealistic? Is it Single Payer? Is it taxing oligarchs? Is it not being corrupt?
Most of his platform would be center-left or even just centrist in Scandinavia.
It’s because you’re a populist. They’re both populist politicians. Trump is right-wing, Bernie is left-wing.
Though, the question of whether either (especially trump) actually believe in their populist positions is debatable.
Bernie sold out and Hillary still lost. I respect his body of work but he wasn’t the answer.
I think the closest thing we’ve had to an amazing presidential candidate in the last 12 years was Andrew Yang.
ANDREW YANG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that some election denial I detect?
Not unless you’re a complete fucking shitlib moron that will uncritically swallow whole any anti-Muslim genocide-pushing, imperialist, global death cult capitalist bullshit that CNN or MSNBC feeds you.
Are you bad at math? Im asking because the only source that comes close to “proving” this is filled with bad math.
Are you an absolute moron?
I’ll bet $1 million that you voted for Hillary in the primary then gaslighted all of the Bernie supporters that were absolutely outraged after the convention.
Considering your claim has already been disproven mathematically I don’t think you should be sitting in judgement of anyone’s intelligence. For fucks sake you think Medium is a good source?
Spiva’s comment is referencing the fact that traditionally the party did choose the candidate. This was the case until the 1950-60s depending on the party. There’s no law requiring an open primary and parties can do as they wish. If you had any understanding of US political history this wouldn’t have been a surprising quote but here you are.
Mathematically? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How does math come into play when the party tallying the votes is literally allowed to cheat?
Al Franken disobeyed the will of his constituents as a superdelegate and voted against them. I could go on and on all day about my lived experience in 2016 and people EXACTLY like you, gaslighting me, telling me that my lived experience was false and I somehow misremembered it.
I am not even going to waste any further time on you, shitlib.
