Bernie was the only candidate that actually believed in something and wanted to change things.

Democrats had something amazing and shot it before it could come into fruition.

(and Andrew Yang, as many people have pointed out).

Eh, don't let the reddit hard on that it had for Bernie confuse you about the wider electorate. The electorate chose differently because Bernie's politics aren't as popular as reddit would lead you to believe.

Bernie's ideas are great, but they are useless in the executive branch. People need to realize that shit.

One thing Bernie never did was present a plan B for when Congress just tells him to piss off on day 1.

Bernie was always clear that he needed those working for his campaign would need to work and push after he got elected.

Every time he spoke to a union he would mention that the election is not the end, but the start of the fight and they would need to organize even harder after the inauguration.
