Sometimes i wonder what would have been if Bernie wouldn’t have been blackballed. I feel like we would at least not be as shit of a nation as we are now because Trump would have never happened.

    If you look at his positions over the course of his career, he is damn near always on the right side of history.

    Republican voters need to seriously and intimately understand the negative consequences of unrestrained conservative policies before any real change is possible. You could argue that we aren’t there yet but it’s certain that a lot more get it now than did before Trump. We wouldn’t have had that to nearly the same degree without two Trump presidencies. In fact, the scariest part of this whole situation is that the narcissism of Donald Trump is the only thing separating us from living in a permanent fascist hellscape. If someone even a little bit more tactful had been in charge we’d be absolutely fucked. I don’t think Bernie could have prevented that without the support he’s gained from all of Trump’s completely unhinged bullshit.
