He would not have won the presidency, the system is rigged to be two party only and he would have utterly destroyed his career. Knowing the man he will always go for the harm reduction option.
I wonder if you can compare what happened to teddy Roosevelt and Bernie’s case
If the system is rigged, why not protest for fix the thing that is rigged and not after the fact when the rigged thing isn’t in your favor?
Your complacency is what’s perpetuating this rigged system, yet you all think your “party” is going to fix it when they’re both only looking out for themselves.
Well it sure is good we went for harm reduction so Hillary won instead…
Oh wait
Also Teddy didn’t get elected, he was VP when McKinley was assisnated, and he would have never gotten elected for a second term if he wasn’t already in power.
This is why the DNC won’t even let a progressive be VP.
Ok I must be rusty in my history, afaik teddy was fairly popular toward the end of his first term and won reelection easily
and i meant specifically the time he wanted to run for a third, lost the nom and formed a third party. It didn’t go great for him and it would not have gone great for bernie

So when did Bernie get to be president for 8 years I’m missing that part?
Or are there differences between the 1950s and 2025?
In reality most people want a 3rd party
