That’s because the American people themselves are too afraid to rock the boat themselves to where they only see two political parties. They’re scared about what Bernie promised and they made fun of it. Like I remember back in 2016, people were going around like “HE’S GONNA GIVE US FREE INTERNET, GUYS! FREE INTERNET!” when he had wanted us to have a free market so we wouldn’t be tied up with the ISP monopoly.
Bernie knew very well that his only chance that he had was to run Democratic since, well, we hadn’t had an Independent candidate be president for over 170+ years in this country so you go figure. And the ironic thing is that Trump probably knew in the back of his mind that he had no shot of running as an independent either, so he went the Republican way and apparently got further with that than Bernie did as a Democrat since the DMC wanted their status-quo favorites to run.
Bernie is a social media merchant. Dude is an expert at looking like he’s challenging the status quo, while never doing anything that could truly piss them off. Dude straight up ended an interview when the interviewer started suggesting Schumer face a primary challenge.
Trump is awful, but his election is in its own way proof that the American people are willing to reject the status quo and embrace change.
Democrats don’t need their own Trump, but they do need someone who is results oriented and willing to abandon a lot of longstanding assumptions.
This is facetious. He had no problem running to be the democratic nominee, and is a member of the democratic Senate caucus.
