    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
