When Bernie ran for President in 2016, I interviewed him. I honestly felt like he was the least "crooked" politician out there. I felt like he wanted to make changes for the American people. Like, I know it sounds crazy that I said "least crooked" but it's the damn truth! The DNC, in my opinion, never wanted Bernie to be the Democratic nominee. That was gonna be Hillary regardless of how well things went. The DNC, again, in my opinion, saw a "shoe-in" in their eyes with Hillary as a candidate. I think it was thought she could pull the black female vote, middle-class white woman vote, and more. But truth be told, I think some men voters had a problem with a woman in the office. It's sad, but hey. That's what I think. I think it was enough to sway the vote whether Russia meddled with the election or not.
Now back to Bernie. When I interviewed Bernie, we talked about his diner sit-ins during the civil rights era to his plan for the American people and more. See, to me Bernie wasn't "putting on" to swindle constituents out of their vote. He wasn't trying to fit in. He was who he was and I think that scared some voters. Seriously. I think some people in 2016 would rather vote for Trump and Hillary and there will be some this election that will also choose the lesser of two evils.
Now, while I'm still not a fan of the 96 crime bill that Joe Biden wrote, look it up, but I get it. Once Biden decided to enter the race, I knew from there, it was done deal. A few of the candidates that I liked were Mayor Pete (Met him and he's cool, but a little weird. standoffish. You kinda can't be like that as a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,) Tom Steyer (Not sure if the Juvenile performance helped or hurt him,) and of course Bernie. I do think that Bernie's healthcare for all was going to cost way more than the what, 40 Trillion that he projected.
Either way, I think we all saw this coming. Bernie fought a great fight. While a lot think he was robbed of the nomination, I won't confirm or deny, I think the thought holds weight.
