Do you think he would have stood a chance had Hillary not cheated him out of the primaries?

I can't say I supported Sanders - his "let's make everything free lmao" ideology was flawed from the start - but I can't help but respect how well he galvanized the youth of the US and managed to fund an entire campaign through almost entirely public donations. The guy looked like he was on a nearly unstoppable path to victory until Hillary pulled the rug out from under him. I think that's what I'm most surprised about really; out of all the illegal things Hillary's done, rigging the primaries against Sanders is one of the only confirmed ones and there was no backlash for it. A lack of backlash from the government I can expect - she had them in her pocket from the start - but the fact that these millenials and hyper-leftists that were firmly on Sanders' side this entire time and love to have a good old-fashioned riot didn't do just that when they should know what happened to him. In fact, they did the opposite - they threw their lot in with the very person who destroyed their chance at representation. I know Sanders told them to, but I expected more loyalty from them I guess.

Sanders probably would not have won the popular vote by as large a margin as Hillary, but he certainly would have won the states that mattered, PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan for sure.

People forget that Bernie has run against rich guys who want to play politics (like Trump) pretty much his entire political career, and in a state that is overwhelmingly white. He wouldn't have needed the hyphenated american coalition Hillary was relying on.

But would he have won the whole thing? Really, that isn't something we know. We do know that he was polling much better than Hillary against Trump, but Hillary was also ahead in the polls only to lose.

In before some Trumptard starts shitting up the thread with his shit posts about socialism.

2 things
When he let the two BLM interrupt him
When he said "enough about the damn emails"
That may have been enough to do him in anyways

hes a sellout now so hes not worth mentioning anymore

Nah. Democrats needed both the 'Obama Coalition' to unify and rally behind their candidate and to win white voters in the swing states. Bernie could hardly do both, as he failed pretty spectacularly at doing so in the primaries.

He would have been blown out worse.

Sanders was threaten by hillary to either support her or die

>When he said "enough about the damn emails"

this line was proof he was nothing more than controlled opposition imo

I wouldn't be surprised. The day he bent the knee he had a big bruise on his face.

As a bernout, when he said that it was like watching your QB throw a game losing interception.

Yes, he would have had access to the numbers and demographics that secured Obama's victory in 08.

do you think he was only controlled opposition? or do you think he tried to do it as some virtue signalling "i'm above low blows" look at me type bullshit

Absolutely. Clinton's conspiracy to screw over Sanders definitely caused backlash amongst liberals and sucked a lot of the enthusiasm her campaign had out of it. A lot of Bernie supporters wound up voting for Stein or Johnson or abstaining, although a large number of them voted for Clinton because they felt they had no other choice, but still weren't outspoken Clinton supporters.

I think a big part of Trump's appeal to normies was that he represented the Washington outsider wild card candidate as opposed to the crooked career politician. Sanders would've negated that appeal since he has a similar reputation and actually had a passionate base of supporters.

He would've taken a huge chunk of Trump's white working class votes. Wisconsin, Michigan, PA, and Ohio would've had a hard time going to Trump. That was Sanders territory.

Do I think he was purposefully controlled opposition? No.

Do I think he had staff intentionally feeding him bad advice and strategy? Absolutely.

Honestly, no because a lot of the boomer liberals didn't like him and relying on the youth for an election is suicide.

No. Bloomberg would have ran, and effectively cuck him of all the Hillarycrats.

>Do you think he would have stood a chance had Hillary not cheated him out of the primaries?

Yes, though this is in no way support for the old kook, though "his heart was in the right place" (which means less than nothing in reality), his ideas were stupid as fuck and really quite obvious mouth service from a career politician.

The only people who voted for Bernie in the primaries were rural and suburban retards.

City people all voted for Hillary.

I don't like socialists

Yes, Bernie would have won but Clinton screwed him.

In 2008 almost 69 million people voted for Obama. In 2012 almost 66 million voted for him again

Clinton got roughly 62 million votes. That's a drop close to four million people. Those people dropped out of the Democratic Party because they didn't want to vote for Hillary

Pretty sure I'd still fuck Jill Stein.

City people are mostly degenerates, gays and immigrants.

Also fuck off Obama leaf. Get a fucking life and do something other than posting on Sup Forums

>he was cheated
>she didn't get 55.2% of the popular primary vote
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries,_2016

You're a fucking retard.

t. suburban/rural retard

>close down voting booths in major Bernie areas
>Hillary wins the popular vote

fair and square eh Ishmael?

socialists are too dumb to consider the electoral vote

The only people who voted for Trudeau in the primaries were rural and suburban retards.

City people all voted for if you don't reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep tonight.

Sanders is an idealist, while both Hillary and Trump are in for the power and money.

Sanders would probably have suffered the Carter fate, but I don't think he would have cared.

I have a feeling that Trump may screw up more- than Bush did.

Junior's major fuck up was messing around in Iraq after Saddam (RIP big fella we miss you) was dead.

This was completely unilateral and everyone in the government was shocked when he decided they weren't done fucking around there after the "Mission Accomplished" speech.

No. Sanders would have been lost Virginia and Nevada, won Wisconsin, and failed to win MI or PA. FL and NC wouldn't even have been close. Sanders is popular with young people, not the white working class. Both Hillary and Bernie share a fatal flaw. They depend on unreliable segments of the electorate, minorities and the youth vote respectively

Shut the fuck up and stay out of America you fucking leaf, nobody cares.

of course he would have won

but it doesn't matter now

No. Two voting groups gave Trump the election

1. The Rust Belt switching from Democrat to Republican

2. Black and youth vote staying home in larger numbers than last election.

Bernie would not have been able to flip back the rust belt. His narrative would have needed to be better than Trumps on manufacturing and it just wasnt.

Also, while we would have seen an increased youth vote, blacks would have stayed home the same as they did with Hillary. Unless it's a nigger running, they dont give a shit.

BTW: Someone cap this for posterities sake: THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN 2020 WILL BE BLACK. MALE FEMALE SENATOR CONGRESSMEN GOVENOR WHATEVER. DOESNT MATTER. THEY. WILL. BE BLACK.

>BTW: Someone cap this for posterities sake: THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN 2020 WILL BE BLACK. MALE FEMALE SENATOR CONGRESSMEN GOVENOR WHATEVER. DOESNT MATTER. THEY. WILL. BE BLACK.
Loretta Lynch? (I'd like to lynch her if u no what i meen)

Loretta Lynch, Bobby Rush, doesnt matter. The retards at the DNC will go

>Huh, less black people came out. THATS why we lost the election. Welp, better rig it for a nigger this round

And then they will still lose.

If America wasn't in thrall to bankers and snake oil salesman he would have walked it.

So essentially, his win was impossible.

Sanders lacks the confidence for debate, especially against a Farage-trained Trump. Also debating for Socialist programs against someone who knows his market economies like the back of his hand would make him look like a moron (even more so). Sanders also lacked the huge backing of money like Hillary did. Although there would be a lack of leaks like the DNC rigging there also wouldn't be the leak of Trump's "grab them by the pussy" video. Also it is a sured fact that anyone outside the millennial metropolitan culture would still see socialism as the danger it was back in the cold war era. Lets not forget he is very very weak on foreign policy, even if he manages to win the election we would suffer militarily in huge margins under him. In short he's a walking vagina

Sanders would have crushed trump

All the liberal states would have voted for him along with the swing states except possibly Ohio.

>his "lets make everything free" ideology was flawed

Holy shit, the straw man's positions you set up are weak?

Probably, people try and make out Trump won for any other reason than people fucking hated Hillary. Voter turnout was reduced because most people remember the days when Bill was in the white house and I became common knowledge that the Clintons had people killed.

There is a reason she is the most despised politician in history.
