MODERATORS
Sometimes, I try to imagine how much less of a shitshow things would've been if Bernie had been the one running against Trump in 2016.
I voted for Bernie in 2016 and 2020. But I'm not convinced the politics were on his side. He polled favorably against Trump, but Trump only praised him. He knew it would cause division if he did well against Hillary. I think if he won, the socialist rhetoric would have jumped, and his favorable numbers would have dropped significantly.
I do wonder about if Hillary had taken the race seriously. If she had taken the Bernie voters seriously instead of saying she didn't need them. If she had taken the emails issue seriously instead of playing dumb.
Also, if Biden had dropped out of this race. But also if Trump didn't run again. I think Nikki Haley would easily beat Biden with the moderate vote. But I think another Dem candidate would easily beat Trump with the same moderate vote.
