  Bernie is a Zionist and not a socialist at all. He sucks and if he was in a general election in 2028 I probably would still vote for the PSL candidate because I don’t live in a swing state. But he absolutely was screwed out of the 2020 nomination in a concerted effort from the Democratic Party establishment to get anyone but Bernie to win. Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race until Super Tuesday to act as a spoiler while all the other moderate candidates dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden. The media consistently downplayed Bernie’s early lead. Pete Buttigieg had shady connections to the owners of the app used to conduct the Iowa Caucus. That same Iowa Caucus held “votes” that were based on how loud the audience’s cheers for each candidate were. The media buried the Tara Reade story (CNN even took down an old episode of their radio show where Tara Reade’s mother called asking for help because her daughter had been assaulted by her boss who was a politician in DC).
