    I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would’ve been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.

        Yeah, they were never going to let that happen. They’d preferred Trump over Bernie. Would’ve been hilarious to see Chris Matthews freak out even more about Bernie death squads rounding people up and executing them though.

            The problem WAS that people preferred Bernie, same as every other populist candidate. The last ones that won resulted in a Term limit and an assassination respectively.
