    Bernie is too liberal for all those big donors who pump up the Democrats via Super PACs. He might get in the way of them profiting off the American people. Bernie would have been the best choice for this country at beating back the MAGA movement before it became what we have now.

      “Too liberal” for all the people who didn’t vote for him. Because he’s not as popular in real life as he is on the internet.

        Downvotes from the people who don’t know Bernie lost in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries because not enough people voted for him.

        You are correct. As much as I like the guy, he is not as popular in reality as he is on the internet. But you can sure hurt a lot of feelings by pointing out that reality on the internet.

          I hold nothing against Bernie. He does have real integrity.

          The problem I have is the portion of his supporters that are essentially left-wing Trumpers. They don’t care about the truth. They don’t care about what’s best for the country. They make lies about electoral cheating.

          The only difference is that Trump is a fucking scumbag and Bernie has integrity. I say that because each time he lost in the primaries, he publicly endorsed the Democratic candidate. Because he’s not a fucking moron and knew how destructive Trump presidencies would be. I find it interesting that THIS is the one issue Bernie Bros disagree on with Bernie. All of a sudden, he should NOT be listened to? He has also never claimed to have been cheated.
