God, thank you for this Nick. This whole week on Reddit, I've been batting down these LaRouchian BernieBots that keep insisting that he is the answer. Look, these people have resented the Democratic "elites" for not choosing him over Hillary Clinton in 2016, but my question has always been why would they replace the longtime well known Democrat over the man whose only using the party to get elected president because he knows being an independent is a non starter? Its crazy. They've held on to this for so long, they deem it the sole reason that he hasn't been successful instead of the naked truth, that people aren't feeling his policies.

Normally blue voters in blue areas shifted to the right, there is no way warmed over DSA policies fix that. We're probably going back to Clintonite-era Blue Dog politics, with people like Seth Moulton and Jared Golden taking the helm over AOC and the "Patrol" (Can't call it a squad with vanquished Rep's Bowman and Bush.) Our next nominee is probably going to be a white male either from a rust belt state or a southern state. And that person is going to be as moderate as a 92 Blue Dog. Progressivism died last week and these people keep dancing with the corpse. Another "Weekend at Bernies.".

Remember the incident in 2016 where Clinton supporters were coming out of a building and Sanders supporters were screaming and spitting and shoving signs in their faces? That was the wokesters doing their thing. I said at the time they were maybe going to elect Trump, possibly make him president for life unless Democrats smacked them down, hard. Dems did not. And here we are.
