Damn, in hindsight, I feel like Bernie would've been a FAR better candidate for the dems. Things could've turned out differently with him, though we won't ever know for sure.
@davidbodor1762 in hindsight, Bernie is quite literally as bad an option as Trump. Both are lying grifters who emboldened the worst of America to pretend to be "Patriots" for The Right and "Activists" on The Left.
@@mittensthemeow1485 The republicans are calling Biden a communist, I don't think it really matters at this point bc reps will use the same words regardless of who the candidate is.
Hillary was comfortably ahead for a majority of her time as a potential nominee. However, there *is* an obvious favored media spotlight for certain candidates - which she was given from the very beginning. We'll never know what could have been if that spot had gone to Bernie instead. Maybe he would have lost fair and square, maybe it wouldn't have mattered.. maybe he would have crushed Trump in a few debates and gone on to win. We'll never know, and that's what I personally had a problem during the 2016 election cycle.
it was also proven via leaked emails that there was unfair play in favor of Hillary against Bernie simply because Bernie's views leaned a bit _too_ far left for some of the higher up Dems liking. The fact that Trump did not win by a huge margin, and the fact that the Democratic party had to actually cheat in some ways to get Hillary as the nominee leads me to believe that it's not too hard to imagine that in an alternate timeline where morals were upheld, Bernie very well could've taken the 2016 election away from Trump, and the world would've been a _MUCH_ less shitty place to exist in during the time that has passed since those events took place.
@@nevzzzor After all the BS we had to deal with during Trump's presidency, are you honestly saying that you think Bernie, a seasoned politician that was photographed protesting during the civil rights movement decades ago, and still stands by those same values, would have been a worse president than the guy that brazenly tried to overthrow the government just because he lost?

From what I have seen, they all seem to be backing Biden 100%, much to my dismay. At this point, Biden needs to step down and they need to nominate "Generic Democrat" in his place.
It's cute that you think that. All Trump had to do was hammer the "Communist" angle and Bernie's inability to explain his ideas as workable plans would've crushed him.
@@Kyle-xh4rn yeah, a record of doing nothing except riding the coattails of actual leaders. He'd get stomped against Trump. The plls assumed Trump and the GOP would be as lenient in running against Bernie as the DNC was.
@Kyle-xh4rn if you look at Bernie's record, you see that he's an Anti-America Socialist who praises dictators like Fidel Castro. Conservatives would've had an easy time scaring up support against Bernie and letting his natural stupidity do the rest. It's telling how Bernie had to lie to get support for his half-baked ideas, and he turned into a babbling lunatic when he had to explain his ideas beyond reductive slogans.
I mean, I get it is annoying, and I get that, as a politician, his "apologies" are just by the book, they are empty and meaningless, but I always find really hypocritical of people when they expect decency and maturity, but whenever that is shown, it is interpreted as annoying, goofy, and made fun of, well, you get what you hail I guess, no wonder US has so many toxic politicians.
Team Bernie Sanders! Joe would have been a boring milquetoast* Dem if it wasn't for Bernie pressuring him to adopt left leaning policies. He may not have been the president, but he is a fighter for the people.
I’m half Brazilian and half Czech and the US election system fascinates (and confuses) me. In BR we have direct votes with a second round. Voting is mandatory because we don’t see it as “a right” but more of “a duty”, and we vote on the weekend so it’s more accessible for workers. Not saying it’s perfect, far from it. But when I moved to the US and found out about electoral college I was shocked and quite confused
@@valeriedefarias Raised in the US here. Your system there sounds like a more equitable way of selecting government representatives. The schools here taught us we lived in a democratic republic (which is a bit of an oxymoron). It wasn't until the last 50 years that primary votes even mattered. Even still the party bosses still largely pick who runs in the primaries (as well as the donor class and think tank factions). We have "democratically" elect our representatives in the public (A or B). Since we don't vote on policy, it's a Republic at the national level, but local politics is sometimes still democratic (direct). It's a mess. Hopefully we can keep working on it- try to make it better for everyone.

@@treelobster6137 Just simply untrue, google is free.

@@treelobster6137 yup that’s why I shared. You said it aired 3 years before the sanctions. That isn’t true, Obama administration passed 110 in 2015. Thus making your statement wrong 🤷♂️. I understand many more sanctions were passed after this episode but that wasn’t the point my guy.
Oh look, its british Millhouse!
i scrolled down to the comments with exactly the right timing to hear him say these words right as i was reading them
Ok….. I tried googling it, but there hasn’t been an update and frankly this is a crime. Did that man find his cat or not??????? 👀👀💀💀💀
I was just wondering this!
Most importantly, should we still be asking him if this is his cat?
Last I heard they had *completely* lost the cat.
I would ask if this is his cat… but I’m from Eastern Europe so that’s a lil too close…
Given that the most recent article I can find was “Internet not much help finding Chechen leader's missing cat,” things don’t look good.

Same here. They did Bernie dirty.

Revisiting this from 2024 and I can't help but wonder how stuff might have turned out if Bernie Sanders had run against Trump instead
Unfortunately he couldn't quite get the votes the both times he tried.
Nah, Canada is what happened when the English and the French abandoned a baby in the snow, and the baby was raised by the kind of dudes that necessitated the creation of the Geneva conventions.

So, uh, did Kadyrov ever find his cat?
Did you write him about it?
He needs to know that you have not seen his cat.
