He's right frighteningly often.

I still don't understand why he'll never be president except, ofc, he would never play the games that come with politics these days.

America is fast losing its chance for redemption.

Because when idiots hear Socialism they see Communism and it's frighteningly easy to start a red scare propaganda campaign to keep him off the big ticket.

The guy who fixes my car basically runs a French-style salon out of his shop, and he told me, "The South Will never vote Socialist." Seems he's right so far. That and he goes against the powers that be... Bernie would have been a nightmare for the rich and powerful.

He got outpolitiked in the 2020 primary. Really the only reason why he's not president right now.

He had 4 years to shore up his weakness with black southern voters and never did. He could've offered Bootyjudge VP in exchange for staying in the race and keeping the center vote split but didn't.
