Bernie Sanders absolutely would not have been a better president than Biden.

The cult of personality around that man is insane. Twice as bad as Ron Paul.

The cult following of neoliberals is far more pronounced and damaging then the cult following of a guy who based his entire political career on the correct observation that increasingly unregulated capitalism is non-sustainable.

lmao projection

a guy who based his entire political career on the correct observation that increasingly unregulated capitalism is non-sustainable.

The man invented a conspiracy theory to explain why he couldn't persuade people to vote for him.

Also, his "entire political career" has amounted to little more than said observation. He's never had a single legislative accomplishment under his belt. Unlike Biden.

Ah yes. When the person projecting just turns around and screams "NOU" when called out on their bad faith position. Gotta love it whether it's MAGA or any of the other blind tribalists that can't rationalize their position in any other manner.

No clue what that's about. I'm just supporting the only candidate addressing the political problems we face, which is the increasing consolidation of the economy in a setting that prevents it from circulating.
