    Unpopular opinion but that sounds like a skill issue when the progressives could’ve done the same thing. And I say this as a Bernie voter.

      If everyone who “says this as a Bernie voter” had actually voted for Bernie, We’d be in the first year of his 2016 running mate’s administration.

        Bruh, you’re really going to accuse me of lying about voting for an extremely popular left-wing candidate on a left-wing social media platform?

      Were there enough progressives in the right positions of power to make that happen, though?

      One advantage that centrist / establishment types have is that they are everywhere and people are used to them. And they sometimes actually coordinate when the status quo gets threatened.

      Hmmm im thinking it has more to do with him not capitulating to billionaire interests. That sounds a lot like Hillary saying “no one wants to work with him”
