    There are Republican voters who like Bernie and they have been showing up to his rallies for years.

    Then Bernie should have run for the Republican nomination. He tried running for the Democrat nomination twice, and he lost twice.

      You can be flippant about the nature of first past the post voting systems if you like but it’s not a useful contribution to the discussion. If you want to be POTUS you run as an R or a D and Bernie is not an R. That does not mean there are not R voters who like his policies.

        Did you miss the part where I said he ran for the Democrat nomination, twice?

        That does not mean there are not R voters who like his policies.

        I never said otherwise, but how does that help him win a presidential election?

        My whole point is that Bernie could not win a presidential election in the US. How has anything you’ve said disproven that?

      The DNC rigged it against him. He should have ran independent. The DNC is corrupt af.
