If you don't think the last eight months of Sanders being able to extol the virtues of universal healthcare compared to the hellscape crafted by everyone to his right in this country that led to the pandemic fallout, you're out of your mind.

Would Bernie have won in 2016? Yes, I'm confident in that. Would Bernie have won in 2020? I mean, he would have won by 8 figures. It would have been an insane victory. But we chose a guy who is wishy-washy on a fucking public option and who is worried about broken windows as the cops continue to murder black people in the streets.
