Dem voters didn't want him in 2020. They didn't want Hillary in 2016, either. But they were moderate choices that were foisted upon the party because the more popular options were "too far left" and having someone who better represented a majority younger voter base under the age of 50 was just too scary.

Bingo

thanks (re: Bernie)

about what policies was he too far left?

and was he too far left for voters, or just for the establishment? (remember that 2016 drama between Bernie and the DNC and Cankles?)

cuz Bernie was winning primaries and Joe was a walking gaffe, until he suddenly wasn't.

but, I know I know...we Americans have been conditioned to hate commies even more than nazis.

just look at the war thread!

(much of the funny part being, Russia isn't even commie any more! though damn near half of Americans, and a majority of republicans, still think so)

and yet, maybe more young people WOULD vote if they got the "far left" loony tune candidate they prefer.

Look no farther than universal health care. In every other developed country around the world, health care doesn't even fall on the political spectrum because health care is an accepted human right. Only in America (cue Don King) is it seen as some terrifying communist plot because profits > people.

Nailed it. Young people don't vote because this system is set up to work against candidates who represent young people. You know, the young people that are going to sooner rather than later need to be trusted to run this country. The Democratic party has spent the last, what, 20+ years, worried about "moving too far left" while the world passes them by because the younger generation coming up hates the Democrats for not being far enough left.

yea.

sigh.

Merica is maybe the only developed country in which its citizens are conditioned to think the gummint shouldn't even do anything for them, despite paying out the ass in taxes anyway.

oh well, at least we still got more bombs than anyone

and those tax breaks for Japhy!

Double (triple?) boosted and still got covid?

JB Pritzker also has the fungus.

Well that's not good. I hope he is OK and recovers quickly.

yea. Get well Old Balls.

There's a clip floating around in which he says he has cancer, but it may be another one of his word fumbles. Hard to tell.
