dont think he needs it, the DNC likely determined already. hes just giving himself more exposure so that people vote on him based on recognizability alone. thats also how trump won too, being in MEDIA alot helped him.

Not idiots, or well not just idiots. Representing the interests of the rich is his job with everything else being secondary. This is the default state of a neoliberal regardless of intelligence. The target of this message is American billionaires, not you.

he disappeared for a few months after making those stupid rants at trump, where was he the whole time.

Shocking, the guy who was caught at a 2020 dinner party at French Laundry during the pandemic when he had asked Californians to avoid group gatherings for the Thanksgiving holiday.

He married Kim guilfoil, really says all you need to know about him

Yeah, Bernie would have been bad for business for corpo dems, but the real reason inner party members picked HRC was to get her either up or out, then everyone in the Democratic party moves up one level.

Whether HRC won or lost, everyone below her in the pyramid would win.

He reminds me a lot of HRC. We know he exists to run for president, but we know very little about what he actually stands for. We know what he's against.

Social democratic policies were also just not as popular in 2016 as they are now. In just a few weeks, a full decade will have passed since 2016.

In 2016, people more or less took American democracy for granted. The voters never knew about the danger that Trump's ideology posed to the republic. This was following eight years of Obama, so right-wingers were thought of as fundamentally just people with bad policy ideas and not people intent on destroying democracy.

Only since then have people really started coming around to social democracy, democratic socialism, and other left-wing ideas. Over time, people have begun to realise, Bernie was right.

It really is too bad that Bernie is so old. He deserves a good retirement, but given the current political climate, he's going to keep fighting for the working class until the bitter end.

id say hes further right than biden, he makes him look tame in comparison. newsom was willing to entertain right wingers like nick fuentes.

I saw one campaign sign posted on Lemmy that said "Fine. I'll do it." I'd love to start seeing campaign signs like "my father hates me".
