• Bernie would have won the fuck out of 2016.

    Hillary almost won, and she had essentially nothing to bring beyond being blue, a lady, and continuing the status quo. On top of that she is too fake for politics, which is a high level of fakeness. Bernie would have been an upgrade to everyone who doesn’t work in DC.

    How he would have done as president, I have no idea. But he absolutely would have won.

      nothing to bring beyond being blue, a lady, and continuing the status quo

      She was one of the most experienced and qualified candidates for US presidency in history. The kind of political illiteracy you’re proudly displaying is a fundamental issue that many democracies have to tackle, not just the US.

      Edit:

      Some numbers from 2016 support my earlier claims:

      • What were her big accomplishments in the senate again?

        Here’s Bernie:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#Legislation_2

        I’m not against her because she is blue, or a lady. Those are both good things. I’m against her because she was the last wave of the Clinton-era conservatism that poisoned the Democrats and lost them supporters which led in large part to our current catastrophe. For more, see the source article.

        • What were her big accomplishments in the senate again?

          She was experienced in the executive branch instead of the legislative branch of the government, which matters in this context, because she was a candidate for the highest office in the executive:

          Here’s Bernie:

          A bit misleading, given that Sanders has been in office for much longer. He’s old, almost five years older than Trump, by the way.

          Clinton-era conservatism

          She’s a moderate, always has been, which in the increasingly polarized political landscape is so outrageous to some people on both sides of the aisle that they feel the need to smear her by accusing her of being the other side’s extreme. Please don’t do this. It doesn’t exactly make you look level-headed. Her voting record is in stark contrast to her husband and more liberal than Obama’s, which doesn’t exactly support your claims either.
