Bernie Bros are as delusional when it comes to Hillary as the average Democrat is about Trump right now. I gotta address this because 'If only Bernie-san had saved us from Hillary' comes up every 10 fucking pages or so.
Face it, Bernie Sanders was never gonna win. In fact the Democrats were never gonna win because they had no viable candidate to promulgate their ideas, because they genuinely don't even know what they stand for anymore. But specifically, Bernie Sanders was never gonna win the election because he was never gonna win the nomination in the first place. Because he's a terrible candidate.
Even
if you removed the superdelegates, Bernie Sanders still loses. Even if you go
by raw popular vote, Bernie Sanders still loses. He lost the nomination against a woman who was bar none the worst presidential candidate in history. He was the darling of the Left, they loved him on MSNBC and left-wing hosts and talking heads and newspaper editorials, and he was the toast of the ball in Hollywood. They loved him and couldn't stand her. And he still lost in spite of that because he was
a terrible candidate.
The DNC might not have favored him, but they didn't cheat him out of a victory, Democratic voters rejected him. And it's not hard to see why.
He told white middle-class Americans over and over to suck it up and that they'd have to pay more to implement shit like $15 minimum wage, in order to pay for free college tuition, for universal pre-k and other projects, projects that without except do not fix the problems they are trying to fix but are in fact making things worse. His medicare plan alone was gonna raise the prices for 70% of Americans to pay for medicare for everyone. He said there would be "massive" tax increase.
All of his ideas were terrible. He wanted to prevent the VA from privatizing, throw some more cash at social security, etc...
Not to mention, he was an old ranting man screaming at a cloud. He knew his mantra of socialism and welfare programs, but when it came to foreign policy (or literally anything else) he was pretty much clueless and never had anything to say aside from the same left-wing cliches on american imperialism, israel bad, etc.. Even when it comes to his own social welfare programs, he's cant debate. He was completely destroyed by Cruz on their 1 on 1 on healthcare debate, it was embarrassing. The Zodiac Killer killed a nigga on national television and he's walking around free
And
this is when he was addressing his own base. That's why they showed up and aside from the strong millenial and first-time voter support, most Democrats went 'What? Fuck that shit' and held their nose and voted for Hillary.
You really think that independent or swing voting middle-class Americans are gonna vote for the guy who is saying he's gonna be raising not only their taxes, but their health insurance AND day to day expenses as well? Would vote for a man who openly calls himself a socialist when
60%+ of Americans still rightfully see that as something negative?
It's like this:
50% of Americans would literally rather vote for a gay atheist muslim than someone they see as perfect qualified but calls himself a socialist as a President
Without even being exposed to his ideas, half of America already decided they don't want to vote for him. And remember, the vast majority of people don't pay attention to the primaries so for most people bernie sanders was just a grandpa looking old man. Said primaries
where his own party rejected what he was proposing. And that's before Republicans even started tearing into him and turned the spotlight on his personal life like how he used to be a bum and steal from people or never having a job that wasn't with the government in his life (and he was a NEET until he was 40)
So you think that with all of that he would have been able to win the states that Hillary lost when he couldn't even fucking win his own party's nomination?
