    Why wouldn’t he have been able to win the general election?

    Perhaps I have stars in my eyes, but I think he would have.

      The man is a Socialist, and most people are afraid of Socialism. Things would need to get really really bad in America for Americans to want such drastic change.

        That’s a circular argument. You’re saying he couldn’t be elected, despite his massive popularity, because he’s a socialist?

        Now would the purple party put a socialist in power? No. Would the people? Yes.

        If Bernie was the candidate in 2016, or even 2024, I in my heart truly believe he would have won.

          You don’t know what a circular argument is 🤦🏾‍♂️

          You’re saying he couldn’t be elected, despite his massive popularity, because he’s a socialist?

          Who says he’s that popular outside of the Democratic party?

          If Bernie was the candidate in 2016, or even 2024, I in my heart truly believe he would have won.

          Aww, that’s cute. Who cares? 😂

            Thanks for the down votes. You’re not the kind of person I want to speak with anymore. Have a good day
