    2016 was a dumpster fire of epic proportions. One time I came home from school via subway and witnessed so much poverty that I broke down crying.
    Thngs are looking better now, and with luck Maduro and his lackeys will be ousted from power this July 28th

    Hillary was comfortably ahead for a majority of her time as a potential nominee.
    However, there *is* an obvious favored media spotlight for certain candidates - which she was given from the very beginning. We'll never know what could have been if that spot had gone to Bernie instead.
    Maybe he would have lost fair and square, maybe it wouldn't have mattered.. maybe he would have crushed Trump in a few debates and gone on to win.
    We'll never know, and that's what I personally had a problem during the 2016 election cycle.

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 Před 19 dny

      it was also proven via leaked emails that there was unfair play in favor of Hillary against Bernie simply because Bernie's views leaned a bit _too_ far left for some of the higher up Dems liking. The fact that Trump did not win by a huge margin, and the fact that the Democratic party had to actually cheat in some ways to get Hillary as the nominee leads me to believe that it's not too hard to imagine that in an alternate timeline where morals were upheld, Bernie very well could've taken the 2016 election away from Trump, and the world would've been a _MUCH_ less shitty place to exist in during the time that has passed since those events took place.

Conservatives would've had an easy time scaring up support against Bernie and letting his natural stupidity do the rest.
