Bernie probably would have won a small majority, but done no better than corporate candidates have because the working class doesn't seem to galvanized behind a candidate that does choose them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) When Bernie was running the entire mass media did like a 24/7 campaign blasting how he "can't win"... It was non-stop. The casual voter didn't even have a chance to listen to him, he was constantly blasted with nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] reptar@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) I must have been an early 'out of the cable TV news loop' person then.

The people who voted Biden in the general, and especially the people who voted Biden in the primary will vote exactly as they are told. Its hundred million non-voters whom dont vote because the party offers them fuckall who can be won. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lucelu2@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) He is too old to run for president.
