    First, this is a self-created scenario. Honestly, if it came to Bernie and Trump… would you be more scared of Trump winning or Bernie? If your answer is Trump, then ask the Democrats why they are more scared of having someone like Bernie win than they are of risking Trump winning again. That should tell you all you need to know about what and who you’re actually voting for. It is the same show different season, but you forgot to watch seasons 1-7 to see they all are the same story with new actors every now and then.

      It’s not, there’s 2 candidates right now, one is trump.

      There is no known democratic politician that if they replaced Biden, I’d vote for trump. It’s not gonna happen. Bernie, fuck it Hillary, any of em. Trump must not be president.

      Trump is unlike any other president or presidential candidate in the modern age. Avoiding project 2025, insurrection 2.0 or any other maga shenanigans is the top order.

        Yeah, no shit. There were the same two candidates last time too and Biden didn’t win more votes cause he was well liked. So same story and same characters, different season. They are taking a bigger risk this time around though, but hey… if Trump does win, make sure you blame everyone but the Democrats.

          Not sure what you mean. I didn’t pick the candidates, I have 2 to choose from.

          Just because something happened to us, the voter, twice doesn’t mean we have any more agency of change this time than last.

          Absolutely. Just asking. Lots of people from outside the US love to act like they know everything about our elections.

            I don’t need to be from the US in order to understand US politics / political system better than the average US citizen.
