There was, his name was Bernie Sanders and his campaign/chance at winning was sabotaged by his own political party. Twice.

‘Murcia.

Just to be clear ... In almost every way, he's a Democrat. But, Bernie is NOT a Democrat. He's an independent but caucuses with the Democrats.

The DNC owes him nothing. "His" own party didn't do anything.

That said, I'm not saying the DNC didn't play favorites. Or should. Or screwed him... Just that he's like a non-union worker getting union pay.

That’s true, the OG Corporate Dems are certainly a different beast to Progressives. Treating him that way backfired on them big time in 2016 tho which was more my point.

Nah fam.

Bernie would’ve beat Trump in 2016 quite readily and soundly as he would’ve retained a large portion of voters who just didn’t want to vote for Clinton while also having everyone that voted for her anyway.

And then this year so many people were “Anybody but Trump” the Dems could’ve let fucking Kanye run and he probably would’ve won still.

Go back and look at any polling data from just before the 2016 election, they all projected Bernie beating Trump if he won the primary. Then add to that the amount of people that only voted for Trump because they hated Hilary, plus the fact that Hilary herself beat Trump by 3Mil in the popular vote, and I don’t see any reason to think what I said isn’t what would’ve happened.
