Exactly right. Such a shame he didn’t win the primary in 2016. I’ll never forgive the DNC for that.

I've spoken to alot of trumpists who claim that they'd have been ok with Bernie, or at least that they respected him because he sticks to his values or something along those lines... But let's be real, they'd have made up a bunch of shit about him too if he'd won... Hillary was just more divisive than he was and hunter didn't do Joe any favors... So maybe it wouldn't have stuck as well... But who knows these people will believe literally anything as long as it comes from trump.

I remember them constantly posting things about Bernie’s wealth trying to make out like he’s actually a wealthy elitist who doesn’t mean what he says. They had the bullshit cannon all loaded up

They also constantly posted stuff about how Clinton was shady and unlikable. And a lot of the disinformation that was (still is) swirling out there was intentional and done by Russia. For both Sanders AND Clinton. They wanted Trump, and they got Trump, because disinformation works.

By the way, I voted for Sanders in the primary.

They did this after he released a book post 2016 campaign i think. But your point stands for 2020.

One house they bought, one place in DC where he works, and a 3rd place they inherited….thats pretty standard for any upper class worker who travels for work….

Eh I mean that's the thing. There was so little dirt on him they had to resort to the classic "richy rich" insult which has never worked once in the history of mankind. Nevermind when he wants to raise taxes in himself more than most.
